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.

A phone call, Alligator Alley, and an overturned ruling.

On November 7th of 1998, motorists in south Florida saw a young woman, beaten, bleeding, stumbling, and barely able to signal for help on the side of the highway. She was severely wounded and covered in bug bites.

She was 22-year-old Shandelle Maycock. When police arrived, Shandelle told them that she had been kidnapped, attacked and left for dead by a man she knew from church, 49-year-old Harrel Braddy.

Not only had she been attacked but her five-year-old daughter, Quatisha “Candy” Maycock had also been kidnapped and was now missing.

Days later Quatisha’s body was discovered by local fisherman. Shandelle Maycock would learn that everything she thought she knew about Harrel Braddy was a lie.

A 911 hang up, knives, and a locked bedroom door.

In the early morning hours of March 12th, 2024, police were dispatched to a home in Lawtey, Florida after a 911 hang up call.

When officers arrived, they found 46-year-old Johnnie Brown outside with a laceration to his arm.

As officers spoke to Brown, an 11-year-old girl ran outside and told police that her grandmother and two of her aunts were dead.

Officers found 49-year-old Qanique Robinson, 27-year-old Danesha Sims, and 25–year-old Wynshay Roddey deceased in a bedroom.

Brown would claim that he had shot the three women in self-defense — but is that what really happened?
