Dad Killed Outside Target Over Parking Spot

Just when Houston seems to move past the fear, it resurfaces again. With three more bodies recovered from bayous last week — bringing this year’s total to 34 — social media is once again asking the same terrifying question: is there a serial killer in Houston? Police and prosecutors insist there’s no evidence of a serial predator, pointing instead to homelessness, addiction, and the city’s dangerous waterways. But with nearly 40% of bayou deaths ruled “undetermined,” the rumors refuse to fade. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the data, the official pushback, and why this fear keeps returning — with former FBI and CIA agent Tracy Walder.

7 Bombshell Clues Against Accused ‘Killer’ Pediatrician

They were trusted to teach, protect, and guide — instead, prosecutors say they crossed unthinkable lines. Court documents and shocking bodycam video lay bare some of the most disturbing teacher cases of 2025. Prosecutors allege a fifth-grade teacher secretly had a child with a 13-year-old student, an elementary school music teacher exchanged more than 30,000 messages with an 11-year-old, and a juvenile detention tutor tried to orchestrate a murder-for-hire plot while abusing a student. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber takes you inside the cases exposing how authority, trust, and access were allegedly weaponized — and how the justice system finally caught up.

5 'Bad' Teachers Accused of Shocking Sex Crimes
