​In October 2019, Wade Wilson, a 25-year-old from Fort Myers, Florida, committed the brutal murders of two women in Cape Coral. On October 6, Wilson met 35-year-old Kristine Melton at a local bar and accompanied her home. The following morning, he strangled Melton to death in her residence. Later that day, Wilson encountered 43-year-old Diane Ruiz as she walked to work. After luring her into a vehicle he had stolen from Melton, Wilson strangled Ruiz and, upon realizing she was still alive, ran her over multiple times, leading to her death. ​In June 2024, a jury convicted Wilson of two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, along with charges of grand theft, burglary, battery, and petit theft. The jury recommended the death penalty, which was upheld by Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson in August 2024. Judge Thompson cited the heinous, atrocious, and cruel nature of the murders, as well as the cold, calculated premeditation of the second murder, as factors in his decision. ​Wilson's crimes have had a profound impact on the Cape Coral community and the families of the victims. Melton was remembered as a cat lover and a great friend, while Ruiz was a mother of two sons and described as the "heartbeat of the bar" where she worked.

In October 2017, 39-year-old Nicholis Wilcox was murdered in Plantation, Florida, in a fatal love triangle involving his roommate, Eric Robinson, and Robinson's ex-girlfriend, Isabella Tagliarini. Robinson discovered Wilcox and Tagliarini together and fatally beat Wilcox with a metal rod. He then forced Tagliarini to assist in disposing of Wilcox's body in a dumpster and cleaning the crime scene. ​Robinson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. His initial trial in April 2023 ended in a mistrial due to a witness mentioning his prior domestic violence history. In a retrial, Robinson was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in June 2023. Tagliarini pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and awaited sentencing.

In January 1976, the town of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, was shaken by the disappearance and subsequent murder of Jerry Bailey, a beloved high school football coach. Bailey had recently resigned from his position as head coach at Sapulpa High School and was preparing to transition to another coaching role. On the day of his disappearance, Bailey and his assistant coach, Paul Reagor Jr., left the school together but did not return, prompting an extensive search by the community.

The following day, authorities discovered Reagor in an abandoned farmhouse several towns away, covered in blood. Tragically, Bailey's body was found in the trunk of Reagor's car, having suffered multiple stab wounds. The nature and number of wounds indicated extreme anger, suggesting a deeply personal motive behind the crime.

Investigations revealed underlying personal and professional tensions between the two coaches. Reagor was subsequently convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, he died of natural causes before serving any time of his sentence.

The case has been revisited in various media, including the true-crime book "Because of the Hate: The Murder of Jerry Bailey" by Kirk McCracken, which delves into the events leading up to the murder, the investigation, and the trial. Additionally, the television series "Murder Under the Friday Night Lights" featured an episode exploring the complexities of the case, highlighting how football, crime, and social issues intersected in this tragic event.

Amina and Sarah Said were two sisters from Texas who were murdered on January 1, 2008, in Irving, Texas. Their father, Yaser Abdel Said, an Egyptian-American, was convicted of their murders in 2022. The sisters had long suffered abuse and control from their father, and their deaths were widely considered an "honor killing." On the night of the murder, Yaser lured them into his taxi under the pretense of taking them to dinner but instead shot them multiple times. Sarah managed to call 911 before dying. Yaser went on the run for 12 years before being captured by the FBI in 2020. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Jodi Parrack was an 11-year-old girl from Constantine, Michigan, who was tragically found murdered in 2007. Her body was discovered in a local cemetery, sparking a years-long investigation. Ray McCann, a reserve police officer at the time, became a suspect largely due to inconsistencies in his statements and his suggestion to search the cemetery, where Jodi's body was later found. McCann was never charged with her murder but was later convicted of perjury related to the investigation and served 20 months in prison.

In 2015, DNA evidence led to the arrest and conviction of Daniel Furlong, a local resident, who confessed to Jodi's murder and an attempted abduction of another girl. After Furlong's confession, McCann's perjury conviction was vacated, and he was exonerated, highlighting serious flaws in the investigation that initially targeted him.
