Night Watch: Julia Wandelt Believed She was a Missing Child, DNA Said Otherwise
By the time 24-year-old Julia Wandelt walked into a British courtroom in October 2025, she had already spent years chasing a life that was never hers. Haunted by painful childhood memories and convinced her own parents were hiding the truth, Julia turned to missing persons databases and fixated on one of the most recognizable cases in the world: Madeleine McCann.
What started as late-night searches spiraled into an online campaign as she posted side-by-side photos, built a following, and repeatedly tried to force contact with Madeleine’s parents. Her harassment trial pulled the family back into the spotlight and revealed how grief, obsession, and untreated mental illness collided in the long shadow of an unsolved disappearance.

First Watch: Professor Found Dead, Then Her Killer Spent 11 Years on the Run
In Maryland, beloved professor and accountant Sue Ann Marcum tried to untangle herself from a romantic and financial partnership with yoga instructor Jorge Rueda Landeros. She was found murdered in her basement while her killer disappeared across borders for more than eleven years before finally facing a jury.
Then, Katie investigates a case in Florida, where Taylor Cadle reported years of SA by her adoptive father when she was only twelve. She still found the courage at thirteen to secretly record him and force an arrest. Now as Jorge awaits sentencing and Taylor sues the very officers who dismissed her, both stories ask the same question: how many times must a woman save herself before the system finally does its part?

True Crime This Week: Strange Disappearances
This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson unravels two of history’s most mysterious vanishings — both stranger than fiction.First, in 1926, the “Queen of Mystery” herself, Agatha Christie, vanished after a late-night drive. Her abandoned car sparked an 11-day nationwide search that baffled police, fellow authors, and millions of readers. When she finally reappeared, Agatha claimed to remember nothing — leaving behind one of the greatest mysteries she ever created.Then, rewind to 1875, when infamous New York City politician William “Boss” Tweed escaped from jail after embezzling millions. His disappearance led to an international manhunt — and it was a political cartoon that finally brought him down.From literary legends to crooked power brokers, these disappearances prove that truth can be far more mysterious than fiction.

Night Watch: Here’s What We Know About the NBA Mafia Gambling Scandal
Tonight, Katie breaks down a federal case that might sound like the plot to a movie, but is in fact very real. Prosecutors say New York crime families teamed up with former and current NBA players to run two overlapping schemes. In one, Damon Jones and Chauncey Billups allegedly acted as celebrity bait at underground poker games where hidden tech and rigged shufflers let Mafia backed cheating teams quietly drain high rollers of millions. In the other, investigators say Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and insiders sold secret injury and game info to fuel huge illegal prop bets, even faking an in-game injury to cash in. With more than thirty people charged, stars on leave, and investigators hinting this may reach beyond basketball, tonight’s episode unpacks how the mob, modern tech, and pro sports collided in a case that could shake fan trust in the game itself.
