About this listen

 This week’s True Crime Headlines episode covers five developing stories — from a highly anticipated trial start, to a new murder charge, to a devastating multi-victim murder/suicide, plus a decades-old cold case conviction tied to forensic evidence, and an update in a missing person investigation.
We’re focusing on what’s new, what investigators and courts are saying publicly right now, and what to watch next — while keeping the emphasis where it belongs: on the people harmed, and the families living with the aftermath.
Today’s Headlines
Kouri Richins trial begins — the Utah mom accused in her husband’s death heads to court as the case enters a new, high-stakes phase.
“American Idol” alum charged with murdering his wife — new allegations include claims of staging, as the case moves through the legal system.
Florida murder/suicide spree — authorities say a man killed six people across multiple locations before taking his own life, leaving families and communities reeling.
1982 Bay Area teen murder — prosecutors say a cigarette-butt DNA link helped seal a conviction decades after the killing.
Nancy Guthrie update — investigators say DNA recovered from a glove did not match anyone in CODIS, raising questions about next investigative steps.
