Nancy Guthrie: Ransom Evidence vs. a Mother's Belief
A mother sits on national television and says she believes the ransom notes are real. The evidence says something different. That gap — between what a grieving daughter needs to believe and what the forensic record actually shows — is the most important tension in the Nancy Guthrie case right now, and it demands honest examination. This week we look back at the most compelling developments in ...

Duggar Family: A Decade of Cameras and a Coverup Timeline
The timeline is what makes this impossible to explain away. March 2002 — Jim Bob Duggar learns his teenage son is harming his daughters. He does not call police. He contacts church elders. July 2003 — after a labor program, not licensed treatment, Jim Bob takes Josh to a personal friend in law enforcement. The officer gives Josh a talk, files nothing, and makes no mandated report. That officer ...

Delphi Murders & Richard Allen: Harmless Error or Unanswered Questions
