Reid Carter examines 160 years of American political assassinations, from John Wilkes Booth shooting Lincoln in 1865 to this week's murder of Charlie Kirk.

JFK for being JFK. Martin Luther King for having a dream. Bobby Kennedy for having a last name. And now Charlie Kirk for speaking at colleges. Saturday's s...

From the 1985 discovery of the first barrel to cutting-edge forensic genealogy, this is how science finally gave a name to a child who died without one. Four bodies, two barrels, one monster, and dec...

Megan Boswell faces sentencing for murdering 18-month-old daughter Evelyn, then leading police on a two-week wild goose chase while the baby decomposed in her shed.
