Have you ever seen a bullet travel backward?

Christian Andreacchio was an energetic, ambitious 21 year old in 2014. Poised to be the youngest tugboat captain in the history of Magnolia Marine, he spent nearly as much time on the water as he did on land.

After his girlfriend, Whitley, was forced to move from his family home for an egregious act, Christian followed suit and they, together, moved into his brother's apartment.

But during Christian's time away, Whitley Goodman lived quite a life for a 17 year old girl. After all, she had free room and board, and, most recently - a gifted BMW from Christian.

A fake pregnancy, life insurance questions, and a night spent with another man, eventually toppled this house of cards.

Unfortunately, Christian fell first.

What does a fast food receipt and a bank visit have to do with all of this?

Join Andrea Up Late and Brian Sanders as they discuss this criminal conundrum.

It was September 2, 2010, and Michelle O'Connell was excited for the Paramore concert that night at the St. Augustine Amphitheater in Florida. Her sister was babysitting Michelle's daughter, four year old Alexis. But Michelle knew she had even bigger plans that evening.

Michelle and Alexis had lived with Deputy Jeremy Banks for the past year. What started as a hopeful romance, turned into quite the opposite. Amidst complaints of violence to her family and friends, Jennifer was making plans to leave. And she planned to do that just after the concert that night.

However within just an hour of their travels back to the residence, Michelle would be dead.

A 911 call placed by Jeremy is a great study in emotion and voice detection.

He states that Michelle ended her own life, while he waited in his garage for her to pack her things. In fact, he states she did so with his own duty pistol. Yes, the pistol on his belt, in a retention holster, that he used for work. Coworkers of Jeremy's arrived to assess the situation.

Evidence was collected, minimally. Interviews were conducted, light heartedly. The sheriff was offended - greatly.

This case required special prosecution appointments, governor involvement, and administrative leave. But not where you may expect it. Then after the family fought for YEARS, Michelle's body was exhumed. What was found that had never been reported?? The figurative nail in the coffin. But why hasn't her manner of death ever been changed?

Oh, let's not forget the next civilian to investigate Michelle's death....as he got closer, the man was made to stop in his tracks. By being murdered. Another murder yet unsolved.

Join Andrea Up Late and retired homicide Lieutenant, Brian Sanders, as they untangle this web of medical examiners, botched statements, and a belligerent sheriff.

Just north of Nashville, in the small town of Cross Plains, Tennessee, Jennifer Wix was becoming a wonderful mother. It was 2004 and her beautiful daughter, Adrianna, had just turned two years old. While Jennifer had previous plans to obtain work in either equine therapy or as a park ranger, sadly she was now making plans to escape an unsafe home.

Jennifer was living at the time with her boyfriend, Joey Benton, and his parents. Parties got wilder, Joey's temper got shorter, and his parents had increasing animosity toward Jennifer and her daughter. During one of her last interactions with Joey's mother, Jennifer and Adrianna's food was thrown on the ground outside and she was instructed to go "eat like the dogs do."

The only thing we know with certainty in the moments leading up to the disappearance of the two girls, is that Adrianna had a new and concerning diagnosis, and Jennifer had decided fully that she would not be spending another night under that roof. But did she ever get the chance to escape?

Neither she nor Adrianna have ever been seen again.

BUT:

In over two decades, Joey hasn't spoken. He maintained from the start that he dropped them both off at a gas station, with an unknown person. But his information was contradictory at best, and simply untrue. And then just last year, after his father went to jail on unrelated charges, Joes decided it was time.

He. Spoke.

And you won't believe it.

Weapons charges, alibis that don't align, domestic violence, and the retrieval of a decomposing human leg....

How is this story going to end?
