March 28th, 2025, marks six years since Mary Collins was brutally murdered at the hands of people she trusted.

In those six years, only one of the four perpetrators, Kelly Lavery, has been convicted. Lavi Pham, James Salerno, and America Diehl are still awaiting trial.

America Diehl is currently free on bond.

Every year from March 28th - April 5th Mary's family holds an online candlelight vigil marking the days she was trapped inside Pham and Lavery's apartment.

Trial delays, conflicting stories, and post conviction relief.

After the 1995 murders of William Hatcher, Robbie Bond and Michael Lee, the cases began to make their way to trial.

Kenneth Moody placed the blame on his 14-year-old cousin, David.

But David Moody pointed the finger right back at Kenneth.

A necklace, a puddle of blood, and criminal cousins.

In May of 1995 co-workers and friends 21-year-old Robbie Bond and 27-year-old William Hatcher went out to the Mahned Bridge to look at the stars.

William’s vehicle was later found abandoned on the bridge.

Days later 14-year-old David Moody would come forward and confess that he and his 20-year-old cousin, Kenneth Moody had murdered Robbie and William.

A search of Kenneth’ property would reveal a third victim.
