Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

When devoted mother and registered oncology nurse Bianca Carrasco vanishes from her San Antonio, Texas home on May 1, 2016, investigators attempted to unravel a web of fractured timelines and deeply unsettling questions. Following a heated domestic argument, her husband claimed she walked out into the dark on foot—yet her phone was abruptly turned off at 10:22 p.m., and her purse, ID, and vehicle were all left behind. Nancy Grace and her all-star panel aggressively challenge the narrative surrounding her disappearance. Together, they dissect the husband’s sudden late-night drive to Odessa, his refusal to take a polygraph test, and the devastating reality of a family fighting to reignite a cold case that law enforcement has seemingly set aside. Anyone with information regarding Bianca's whereabouts, is asked to contact San Antonio PD at (210) 207-7660.

Nancy Grace investigates the baffling disappearance of Terrence Woods Jr., a talented young television producer with a double master's degree who vanished while filming near an abandoned mine in the remote Idaho wilderness. According to the crew on set, Terrence suddenly bolted down a steep hill at full speed and vanished without a trace—a narrative many doubt. As the investigation unfolds, a mountain of unsettling red flags emerges: a local sheriff's department treating the case as a simple runaway, international crew members quickly fleeing back to London, conflicting eyewitness accounts, and highly suspicious physical evidence. From missing pants and muddy shoes packaged in plastic bags to tampered camera photos and pages ripped directly out of Terrence's diary, Nancy and her expert panel dissect the jaw-dropping revelations uncovered by Terrence’s father. Was it a sudden psychological break, or something more sinister?
