On April 25, 2019, Rogel Lazaro Aguilera Mederos' semi-trailer truck allegedly experienced brake failure, causing a catastrophic crash into 12 cars and three other semi-trailer trucks. This accident led to devastating fires and explosions, claiming the lives of four individuals. Aguilera Mederos maintained that his brakes had failed, but the total destruction of the semi-trailer in the ensuing fire prevented a thorough investigation into the brake malfunction. In October 2021, a jury convicted Aguilera Mederos on four counts of vehicular homicide, resulting in a 110-year prison sentence. This harsh sentence sparked significant public outcry and debate. In December 2021, nearly five million people signed a petition urging Colorado Governor Jared Polis to either commute Aguilera Mederos' sentence or grant him clemency. On December 30, 2021, just before a scheduled re-sentencing hearing, Governor Polis commuted Aguilera Mederos' sentence from 110 years to 10 years.

On November 18, 1978, an off-duty employee of the Burger Chef, a local fast food joint in Speedway, Indiana, found the restaurant’s back door wide open. Upon further investigation, the employee found $500 missing, along with four other employees. It was initially thought to be a petty theft of cash from the restaurant's safe, but by the Saturday morning it became a clear case of robbery-kidnapping, and by Sunday, when their bodies were discovered, a case of murder. The leading theory of investigators has been that the four victims were kidnapped during a botched robbery, possibly after one of the victims recognized one of the perpetrators. In 1984, 36-year-old convicted rapist Donald Ray Forrester, did confess to crime before recanting. With no further cooperation from Forrester and no direct evidence proving he committed the murders, Forrester was never charged. He died in prison from cancer in 2006 at age 55.

A video shows how the walk-in oven doors at Walmart operate, following the tragic death of 19-year-old Gursimran Kaur, who was found dead inside, allegedly having been cooked alive. Reports indicate that staff assumed she was assisting a customer, while her mother, who also worked at the store, later discovered her "charred remains" in the oven hours later. Halifax Police have described it as a complex investigation, stating: "It is important to note that the investigation has not yet reached a point where the cause and manner of death have been confirmed."

The parents of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher who died in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, have been granted permission by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to contest the ruling that her death was a su*cide. On January 26, 2011, a blizzard struck Philadelphia, leading Ellen Greenberg to leave her job and head back to her apartment in Manayunk. That evening at about 6:40 p.m., Ellen was found dead, having suffered twenty stab wounds, ten of which were to her back and neck. Additionally, there were eleven bruises in various stages of healing on her right arm, abdomen, and right leg. Despite the severity and nature of her injuries, the Philadelphia PD classified her death as a suicide. However, the case was labeled "suspicious" by homicide investigators before it was ultimately closed as a su*cide.

On the night of January 6th, 1982, a passenger on a commercial jet was looking out the window as the plane flew over the Colorado Mountains when he spotted headlights blinking SOS. The passenger brought this to the attention of the pilots who radioed the location of the blinking light to police on the ground. A massive rescue operation was launched and rescuers found Alan Lee Philips stranded in a snow drift. It was in the middle of a severe snow storm and the temperature had dropped down to -22. If it wasn't for the passenger in the plane Alan wouldn't have survived the night. For 40 years Alan's story has been hailed as miraculous, but almost four decades later, it became apparent that Phillips wasn’t an innocent motorist trying to make his way home in bad weather. In fact, hours earlier he’d killed two young women who were hitchhiking nearby. On that ill-fated day, Barbara Jo Oberholtzer, and Annette Kay Schnee vanished without a trace. On January 7, 1982, a woman’s body was found five miles south of Breckenridge, Colorado. She had been shot twice. The only two clues at the scene were a set of house keys and one orange sock. The keys belonged to the dead woman, but the orange sock did not. Six months later and 13 miles away, another woman’s body was found. She had also been shot to death. Police were stunned when they discover that she was wearing the match for the orange sock. The murdered women were both locals: 29-year old Barbara Oberholtzer and 21-year old Annette Kay Schnee. They both disappeared on the same day and both had been shot with a medium caliber revolver. The Park County Sheriff's office said that Alan Lee Philips was arrested in February 2021 after DNA testing linked him to the kidnapping and murder of Annette Schnee, and Barbara “Bobbi Jo” Oberholtzer. He was convicted by a Park County jury in September 2022, of first-degree murder and kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison. But he would only spend 6 months in prison because in March 2023, he died aged 72.

In 2005, a six-month-old kitten named Oscar was adopted by a nursing home in the US to be raised as a therapy cat. However, the workers noticed something peculiar about him. While Oscar usually preferred to be alone, he occasionally crawled into a resident's bed and snuggled beside them. The eerie thing about this is that the resident that Oscar would cuddle with would usually die within hours. Initially, the staff didn't think much of it, but after this happened 20 times, they started to believe that Oscar knew when someone was close to passing away, and so when they noticed the cat next to a resident, they would call their loved ones to warn them. Researchers speculate that Oscar could smell biochemicals released by dying cells and so chose to comfort lonely residents. On one occasion, the staff was convinced that a resident was about to pass away, but Oscar refused to sit with them. Instead, he chose another resident who looked healthier, and that person passed away first. Oscar died in 2022, and over the course of his life he accurately predicted over 100 deaths.
