When 16-year-old Cassie Stoddart was brutally murdered in a small Idaho town, police were led to two teenage boys: Adam Draper and Torey Adamcik.

Emily and Shane are breaking down this case and addressing the controversy around minors who are imprisoned for life… Is it cruel and unusual punishment or can it be justified in a case like this?

Legally Brunette

Truth is stranger than fiction...and reality tv stars know this better than anyone. They are personally intertwined with the world’s most extraordinary happenings, mysterious people and bizarre crimes than anyone else.

The truth is, while being a reality star and putting their lives out there does have its perks, it also makes them an easy target and more susceptible to criminal behavior.



That’s why so many reality stars have a story…it happened to them, their friend, their family…a house break-in, a hostage situation, adultery, kidnapping, armed robbery, financial scams, paternity fraud, identity theft and even murder.



Each week on the ‘True Crime - Reality’ Caelynn Miller-Keyes (Bachelor) will be joined by a reality star as they dive deep into the details of a crime they have a direct connection to. The who, the what, the why and the what ‘were they thinking?!’



True Crime and all it’s darkest secrets, are about to get a taste of reality.

Plus, what did they think about the Netflix documentary on this case? Do others agree that Lauren isn’t the most likable?!
