Former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor invoked his Fifth Amendment right rather than answer questions at a hearing in a Milton murder case he led — the 2021 killing of 25-year-old Marquis Simmons. Judge Peter Krupp allowed it after a sidebar his defense counsel was barred from joining. Defense attorney Rosemary Scapicchio, who is seeking dismissal of charges against Myles Omari

Twenty-Five Years and No Trial: the 9/11 Case at Guantanamo, More Dead From the Dust Than From the Day, and a Deadline That Closes Today
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, no one has been tried for them.

The finale of the five-part series Summer of Fear.

Robert Violante, who was twenty when Berkowitz shot him in the head and who has almost no sight left, was asked what he made

In Part 4 of the five-part series Summer of Fear: on July 30, 1977, Stacy Moskowitz and Robert Violante, both twenty, go on a first date in Bath Beach, Brooklyn — the one borough nobody was watching, because the police had flooded Queens and the Bronx, and the killer read the papers too.

CROWN V COLONY — Remember, Remember: How Guy Fawkes Tried to Blow Up Parliament and Became a Legend Anyway
The finale of CROWN V COLONY, and on the eve of Independence Day, Garret Fisher ends the week with a bang — literally. In 1605, a band of English Catholics packed thirty-six barrels of gunpowder into a cellar beneath the House of Lords, planning to blow King James I and the entire British government to splinters at the State Opening of Parliament. The man left to light the fuse was a Yorkshire sol
CROWN V COLONY — Let Him Have It: How Britain Hanged 19-Year-Old Derek Bentley for a Murder He Didn't Commit
Day four of CROWN V COLONY, and the story turns. Garret Fisher leaves the killers behind for a young man who killed no one at all.

CROWN V COLONY — The Man Who Killed for Company: How Dennis Nilsen Murdered Lonely Men Until the Drains Gave Him Up
Day three of CROWN V COLONY. Garret Fisher trades the House of Horrors for something quieter and somehow worse: a soft-spoken Scottish civil servant in a north London attic. Between 1978 and 1983, Dennis Nilsen — the "Muswell Hill Murderer" — lured at least fifteen lonely young men back to his flat and killed them, he said, so they could never leave him. He kept the remains at home. He got away wi
CROWN V COLONY — The House of Horrors: How Fred and Rose West Turned a Gloucester Home Into a Graveyard
Day two of CROWN V COLONY. Garret Fisher leaves the gaslight of Whitechapel for something more modern and somehow darker: an ordinary terraced house at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, where Fred and Rose West murdered at least twelve women and girls across twenty years — including their own daughter Heather, 16, and Fred's stepdaughter Charmaine, 8. The bodies were found beneath the cellar, the ba
CROWN V COLONY — Jack the Ripper: The Killer London Never Caught, and the Five Women History Forgot
Independence Day week begins where the whole genre began. Garret Fisher launches CROWN V COLONY — five days of the United Kingdom's most notorious crimes — in the gaslit fog of Whitechapel, 1888. Over roughly ten weeks of terror, a killer the newspapers christened Jack the Ripper murdered five women in London's East End: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mar
Marilyn Monroe: The Kennedys, the FBI Files, and the Doctors Who Had Her on a Lethal Cocktail (Part 2 of 2)
Part two of the centennial investigation goes into the deep water. If Marilyn Monroe's 1962 death wasn't the simple suicide the coroner signed off on, then what was it? Garret Fisher walks through the theories the new Fox/TMZ special leans into — the rumored affairs with President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, the heavily redacted FBI surveillance files investigator Paul
Marilyn Monroe Died in the Most Watched House in America — and No One Secured the Scene (Part 1 of 2)
Part one of a two-part centennial investigation. Marilyn Monroe — born Norma Jeane Mortenson 100 years ago this month — was found dead in her Brentwood home on August 4, 1962, and within hours the most famous woman in the world was ruled a "probable suicide" by barbiturate overdose. Garret Fisher walks through the night: the housekeeper, the hours that vanished before police were called at 4:30 a.

Diddy Lawsuit Tossed as a Judge Calls the Claims "Odious," Anna Kepner's Stepbrother Jailed Until Trial, Tiger Woods DUI Records Fight
Garret Fisher runs through four updates. In New York, a federal judge has dismissed singer Dawn Richard's civil suit against Sean "Diddy" Combs — not on the merits, but because the statute of limitations had run out; Judge Katherine Polk Failla called the alleged conduct "indisputably odious" while ruling 17 of 18 claims time-barred, leaving one gender-motivated-violence claim that Richard may ref

In Lonoke County, Arkansas, a judge has dismissed the second-degree murder charge against Aaron Spencer — a father, and a candidate for sheriff — who admitted to shooting and killing the man accused of abusing his daughter.
