Allison Breonna "Ali, Al" Walker (née Hines) was a 24-year-old woman who grew up in Springfield, Tennessee, with her sister, Kristen, and her parents, Kenneth (a pastor) and Regina Hines. Allison wanted to go to Cosmetology school but eventually gave up on it, which lead her to not talk about any more of her goals and dreams according to Allison's cousin, Kayla.

Allison was last seen at the residence she had shared with her husband, Chris, and her brother-in-law, George, in Adairville, Kentucky, on December 21, 2015. Chris was the last person to have seen her at around 5:00 AM before heading out to work. Chris made a phone call to the police at around 9:00 that night and stated that by the time he came home later that morning at around 9:30 during his break, Allison was gone. According to Kayla, Chris stated that the police couldn't do much until twenty-four hours have passed.

The next day, December 22, Allison never came home. A detective, as well as the police, made their way out to the Adairville home, where they have started their search. While Chris seemed to have cooperated with the police during his interview, Kayla shared that the police stated that George seemed a little off during his interview as he was a little fidgety and nervous about talking.

On December 23, 2015, Allison's body was found near the Red River. Evidence that was found near the Red River suggests that Allison's body was thrown into the water body after it was covered with tarp. Other evidence shows that her hands and legs were tied with a white rope after having to have been strangled. George had been arrested that same day as he was charged with murder and tampering with evidence.

In January of 2018, George Walker was sentenced to 55 years in prison. To this day, he remains in Southeast State Correctional Complex.

On September 22, 2006, Cassie Stoddart had her life cut short while house-sitting for her aunt and uncle in Bannock County, a county in the southeastern portion of Idaho. Two of Cassie's classmates, Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper, made the motion to stalk and film Cassie before doing the unthinkable later that night. A day and a half to two days later on September 24, Cassie's cousin, who was 13-years-old at the time, was the first person to have spotted Cassie upon entering her Bannock County home.

Evidence found at Blackrock Canyon suggests that the two suspects had gotten into costume and wanted to instill fear in Cassie and her boyfriend, Matt (before he left later on that evening with his mother), showing their malicious intent after they have tried luring the couple downstairs into the basement. Other evidence shows that there were thirty stab wounds on Cassie's body, twelve of those wounds being fatal. It appears that the two suspects brutally attacked her while the house was dark as they had turned off the power in the basement once more before coming up the stairs.

On September 27, 2006, only five days after Cassie's passing, Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper were arrested on charges of first-degree murder as well as a conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. In 2007, both Adamcik and Draper have received life sentences without the possibility of parole as well as receiving 30-years-to-life sentences for the conspiracy to commit first-degree murder charges. To this day, both suspects remain imprisoned at the Idaho State Correctional Institution.
