Hey, just curious...has anyone identified all of the actual cases that these episodes have been based on? I'd be interested to read up on the real life investigations and how they compare, but I'm only familiar with a few of the cases featured in the show. Thanks!
shareEpisode 4 is based on a case in Springfield, Illinois.
You can read about it at this link.

The girl who murdered her parents while wearing her bathrobe was named Sarah Johnson. You can read about it here http://www.courttv.com/trials/johnson/022205_ctv.html
I've actually seen a couple of cable crime documentaries about this case and I recognized it as soon as the episode got started.
The one that aired tonight is about the former State Trooper, David Camm. Here's a link.

I remember when this happened. It was all over the news.
