Edward "Jake" Wagner admitted participating in the Pike County massacre, one of the deadliest family murder cases in Ohio history, by pleading guilty to murdering eight members of the Rhoden family in April 2016. Prosecutors established that Wagner, together with his parents Angela Wagner and George "Billy" Wagner III and his brother George Wagner IV, planned and carried out the coordinated killings during a custody dispute involving his young daughter with Hanna Rhoden.

Erik Menendez became one of the most infamous figures in American true crime history after he and his older brother, Lyle Menendez, were convicted of murdering their wealthy parents inside their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989. The brutal killings shocked the United States and quickly transformed the Menendez brothers into household names during one of the most heavily televised murder trials of the 1990s. During the trial, Erik was portrayed by prosecutors as a privileged young man motivated by money and inheritance, while the defense argued he was a traumatised victim of years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse inside the family home. His emotional courtroom testimony and visible vulnerability became central to the public perception of the case, helping fuel decades of debate over whether the brothers were cold-blooded killers or abused sons driven by fear.

Following his arrest, Waterfield cooperated with investigators and testified against Gore, helping prosecutors secure convictions in one of Florida's most notorious serial murder cases.

The discovery of multiple bodies buried beneath the property exposed one of Britain's most shocking serial murder cases and permanently cemented Fred West's place among the country's most reviled offenders.
