    Apr 16 2026
    After the indictment of Quinton Tellis, the case against him moved to trial, but the search for justice for Jessica Chambers proved far from straightforward. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy examines the courtroom battles that followed Jessica’s brutal murder, where prosecutors centered their case on her alleged final words and the circumstantial evidence surrounding Tellis. Defense attorneys challenged the reliability of that evidence, while forensic questions and conflicting interpretations complicated the prosecution’s case. Two trials ended without resolution, leaving Jessica’s family in painful limbo and the community still searching for answers. More than a decade later, the murder of Jessica Chambers remains unsolved, and the fight for justice continues.

    Three days after the taping of The Jenny Jones Show, the tension that had lingered off camera turned deadly. What began as a daytime television surprise became a national tragedy, thrusting Scott Amedure and Jonathan Schmitz back into headlines under far darker circumstances. In Part 2, Murder: True Crime Stories examines the murder of Scott Amedure, the urgent investigation that followed, and the courtroom battle that put Schmitz on trial. Carter Roy breaks down the prosecution’s case, the defense’s argument that the televised reveal triggered overwhelming emotional distress, and the broader cultural attitudes toward sexuality that shaped public reaction. As the verdict was delivered, the case raised unsettling questions about media ethics, personal responsibility, and the limits of entertainment built on public confession. The fallout extended beyond the criminal trial, leading to a landmark civil lawsuit against The Jenny Jones Show and forcing a national reckoning over how far television should go in the pursuit of ratings.

    SOLVED: The Talk Show Confession 1
    Apr 7 2026
    Scott Amedure was 32 years old when he stepped onto the stage of The Jenny Jones Show, prepared to share a deeply personal confession. In 1995, he revealed on national television that he had a crush on Jonathan Schmitz, a moment designed for daytime drama that would soon take on far more serious consequences. In Part 1, Murder: True Crime Stories examines Scott’s life leading up to the taping and the cultural climate surrounding daytime talk shows in the 1990s, where sensational reveals and emotional confrontations drove ratings. Carter Roy traces how producers recruited guests, what participants were told in advance, and how the episode was framed behind the scenes. As the cameras rolled and the surprise was revealed on stage, laughter, shock, and visible discomfort filled the studio. Schmitz’s stunned reaction became part of the spectacle, but when the taping ended, the tension lingered. Within days, the fallout from that televised moment would escalate into one of the most controversial crimes of the decade.

  • MYSTERY: The Smiley Face Killers

    MYSTERY: The Smiley Face Killers
    Apr 3 2026
    In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy investigates the Smiley Face Killers theory, a controversial claim that a hidden network of predators is responsible for the drowning deaths of dozens of young men across the United States. What authorities have often ruled accidental drownings, some investigators argue may be something far more coordinated and sinister. The theory points to clusters of college-aged men found in rivers and lakes, often after nights out with friends, with graffiti of smiley faces reportedly discovered near several recovery sites. Supporters believe the similarities are too consistent to ignore. Critics counter that the markings are common urban graffiti and that the circumstances reflect tragic but explainable patterns involving alcohol and water. As families search for answers and law enforcement agencies push back against the theory, the case raises unsettling questions about pattern recognition, confirmation bias, and the power of narrative in the age of viral true crime. Is there evidence of an organized killing network, or has a modern myth taken hold in the absence of certainty?
