Allison Mendes
Join host Allison Mendes every week as she covers a brand new true crime case. Sticking mostly to active and ongoing investigations that are happening in real-time, Allison covers the cases that you're seeing in the news or possibly cases that aren't getting the media attention that they need, while throwing in a few closed cases every now and then. New episodes will be back in 2022.

11. Family Annihilator: Ronnie O'Neal
On March 19, 2018 law enforcement responded to a domestic disturbance only to find 33-year-old Kenyatta Barron and her 9-year-old daughter Ron'Niveya O'Neal had been brutally murdered; and 8-year-old Ronnie Jr. had sustained life-threatening injuries. With their one and only suspect still on the scene, Ronnie O'Neal was taken into custody and charged with murdering his girlfriend and daughter and attempting to murder his son. Ronnie Jr. would go on to be the star witness against his father, resulting in a guilty verdict. Rarely do these cases have any sort of silver lining, but Ronnie Jr's story does.  Sources: https://www.fox13news.com/news/ronnie-oneal-found-guilty-of-2018-double-murder-of-family-attempted-murder-of-son https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/06/17/ronnie-oneal-son-murder-trial-tampa/ https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/ronnie-oneal-sentenced-to-3-life-terms-plus-60-years-for-brutal-murders-of-girlfriend-daughter/ https://www.tampabay.com/news/hillsborough/2021/06/25/jury-mulls-death-penalty-for-ronnie-oneal-iii-in-riverview-slayings/ https://www.myflfamilies.com/childfatality/reports/2018-477264.pdf https://www.wesh.com/article/florida-man-guilty-killing-girlfriend-disabled-daughter/36798264 https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/ronnie-oneal-iii-acting-as-his-own-attorney-in-double-murder-trial/ https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/newly-released-evidence-sheds-light-on-slaying-of-riverview-famihttps://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/tampa-double-murder-trial-acting-as-own-attorney-ronnie-oneal-screams-at-jurors-in-opening-statements/ly/1611993111/ https://www.fox13news.com/news/theyre-trying-to-kill-me-oneals-father-recounts-phone-call-from-his-son-on-night-of-murders https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/death-or-life-in-prison-ronnie-oneal-riverview-man-convicted-of-killing-girlfriend-daughter-to-learn-sentence/ https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/i-am-safe-i-am-loved-riverview-boy-stabbed-set-on-fire-adopted-by-detective-who-responded-to-double-murder/
