A mother in Roswell, Georgia was told something had happened at the pool, and police needed her to stay calm and help them. Her 17-year-old daughter, Mercedes, had snuck out at 1 AM to meet someone and never came home.
Her younger sister had to describe her to officers while barely holding herself together: shoulder-length hair, blonde and brunette. Then she gave them the name that mattered: "CJ, but his real name is Courtney," and she could show them exactly which building he lived in.
The officers didn't rush to his door. They wanted eyes on the apartment first, because if they made contact, they had to be sure they'd get him. The mother couldn't understand the wait: "I gave a description. You know what you got."
Courtney Foster, 20, lived in the same complex and had been texting Mercedes past midnight. When detectives questioned him, he had a story ready. She said she was getting dressed to come back, he said, and he simply went to sleep.
Her grandmother found her near the pool the next morning. The death was ruled a homicide by drowning, and Foster was charged with concealing a death.
He said he went to sleep, but his phone was awake the whole night.
Mercedes was 17 and should have walked back through her front door that morning. Watch how her sister's few words gave police the name they needed.
John Getreu, known as the Stanford Killer, was 74 when police tricked him out of his house with a fake car accident. Sitting in the back of the police car, he complimented them on it.
In the video below you see his arrest and the interrogation that followed.
An undercover officer knocked on his door and said she had hit his car. He walked outside to take a look and ended up face down on the hood.
"Good line for coming out of the house," he told the deputies.
In 1973 and 1974, two 21-year-old women were killed in the hills near Stanford University. One was a Stanford graduate.
The other was the daughter of Stanford's former athletic director.
For 45 years nobody knew who did it. Getreu became a husband, a father and a Boy Scout leader.
In 2018 detectives traced his DNA through a public family tree database.
In the interrogation he first says he has never been arrested. A few minutes later he admits he was arrested in Germany.
"I killed a chaplain's daughter," he says. He was 18 back then and spent about five years in a German prison for it.
When the detective tells him he must have known this day was coming, he answers, "Yeah, I knew that. But why it took so damn long."
He was convicted of both murders and died in prison in 2023 at 79.
Was he surprised they caught him, or surprised it took them 45 years?
He reminds me of Gary Hilton. Two old men who talk about murder like it's paperwork. Hilton's interview is already on my profile.
A 74-year-old grandmother shot her 17-year-old grandson six times. He was on the phone with 911, bleeding on the floor, begging for help when she walked up and fired again.
Jonathan Hoffman wasn’t even supposed to be living with his grandparents. His little sister had a brain tumor, and his parents had moved to Arizona to be with her through treatment. So Jonathan stayed behind in Michigan with Sandra Layne an arrangement meant to keep him steady while he dealt with his own problems. He was on probation. He’d struggled with drugs.
On May 18, 2012, he failed a drug test for synthetic marijuana. That same day, the two of them argued. Layne would later say her grandson demanded $2,000 and a car, hit her, and chased her through the house. So she got her gun.
Over about six minutes, she fired ten shots. Six hit him two in the back. He was in gym shorts and socks. There was nowhere for him to go.
In the middle of it, Jonathan managed to call 911. The dispatcher heard him say: “My grandma shot me. I’m gonna die. Help.” And then, while he was still on the line, another gunshot. “I got shot again,” he said.
When police arrived, Sandra Layne walked out holding the gun and told them: “I murdered my grandson.” Jonathan died at the hospital.
At trial she said it was self-defense a frightened old woman protecting herself from a violent teenager high on drugs. But she had no visible injuries. And the jury kept coming back to that 911 recording: a dying boy on the phone, and the sound of his own grandmother firing again. Second-degree murder. At least 22 years.
The coldest verdict didn’t come from the jury. It came from her own daughter Jonathan’s mother who refused to call her “mom” in that courtroom and said Sandra Layne was “pure evil.”
So here’s what the case never fully settled: was this a terrified grandmother defending her life from a violent, drug-addicted teenager or a woman who chased a boy in socks around her house and kept pulling the trigger while he begged a stranger to save him?
A prisoner had the opportunity to escape but chose to call 911 instead. Dude simply wanted to finish serving his time.
However, it seems when you apply for the job to be a 911 operator you have to check the box that says -
Are you a complete Dipshit that will fuck up a simple phone call? ☑️
Yes? You’re hired !!!!

T-Bag was an absolute menace on Prison Break. One of television’s most terrifying, unpredictable villains. Every time he appeared on screen, you knew trouble was coming.

As somebody who's had a loved one hospitalized for mental health reasons. This is the way to do it. Made me cry a bit. The first doctor was so gentle and professional and had a great bedside manner.
On January 19, 2017, a court camera in Orlando filmed Markeith Loyd's first appearance before a judge. He had a bandage over his left eye and a padded vest on his chest. He refused to fill out the form for a public defender and said he would represent himself. When the judge asked if he understood the charges he faced, he answered: "It don't matter."
Two days earlier he had been caught after a 9-day manhunt for killing a police officer.
It started on December 13, 2016. Loyd shot his ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon, 24, at her home in Pine Hills. She was 3 months pregnant and had two kids, ages 2 and 8. Her brother was shot too and survived.
On January 9, 2017, Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, 42, was leaving a Walmart when a shopper told her the man everyone was looking for was standing in line. She went to stop him. He shot her four times. Prosecutors said the last shot came as he stood over her. A deputy searching for Loyd that day died in a crash.
Police found him hiding at a house on January 17. He was wearing body armor and carrying guns. He came out with a bloody face, a broken eye socket and an eye he would never see out of again. He was cuffed with Clayton's own handcuffs. The officers were later cleared.
In the video below, Loyd starts quiet. Yes, no. Then he tells the judge police made everything up. He says he never resisted arrest. He says the penalties don't matter to him. When the judge ends the hearing, he curses at her over and over as deputies lead him out. The next day, facing the charges for Clayton's death, he told the same judge he wasn't Markeith Loyd and kept asking for her name. That hearing lasted under two minutes.
The local state attorney then refused to seek the death penalty against him in any case. The governor took the case away from her.
In 2019 a jury convicted him of killing Dixon and gave him life. In 2021 another jury convicted him of killing Clayton and unanimously recommended death. His lawyers argued he believed the judge and prosecutors were slave masters trying to kill him. On March 3, 2022, the judge sentenced him to death. He had one more outburst on the way out.
He said it didn't matter. Five years later, it did.
Was Markeith Loyd a cop killer playing games with the court, or a broken man who never should have been allowed to stand there alone?
