After earning her undergraduate degree, Riley begins her studies to be a nurse.    Riley sets out on a morning run. She grabs her phone, telling her roommate she’ll return after a half run at the UGA Campus intramural fields.  When Riley doesn't return for hours, her roommate calls campus police 911 at 12:07 p.m. Less than 45 minutes later,  Officers found the Riley's body behind Lake Herrick. She was unconscious, not breathing, and had visible injuries.  Police arrest Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, charging him with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call, and concealing the death of another.  Ibarra is from Venezuela and came to the US illegally. He arrived in El Paso, Texas, with his wife and her 5-year-old son.  Due to overcrowding at the center, the family is sent by bus to New York City, a week after crossing the border.

Adam Montgomery has been convicted in the death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony. Her body has never been recovered. It only took the jury six hours of deliberation spread over two days, to hand down the verdict. Police said that “on or about Dec. 7, 2019,” Montgomery repeatedly struck 5-year-old  Harmony “in the head with a closed fist.”   New Hampshire police say the then 5-year-old vanished sometime between November 28 and December 10, 2019. Her disappearance was not reported for two years.    The family of Harmony Montgomery says the New Hampshire Division For Children Youth and Families failed the little girl. According to Blair Miller, who adopted Harmony's younger brother, DCYF officials told him, Harmony had been reunited with her father. Miller had asked about the possibility of adopting Harmony as well.  According to court documents, Kevin Montgomery, Adam's Uncle, called DCYF after he noticed Harmony had a black eye. Kevin Montgomery later told police his nephew, Adam, admitted to physically abusing Harmony.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Blair Miller - Adoptive Father of Jamison (Victim's Biological Brother), News Anchor, Cox Media Group Washington News Bureau; Twitter/Facebook/Instagram: @BlairMillerTV Jessica Garth – Chief, Special Victims & Family Violence Unit, State’s Attorney’s Office, Prince George’s County, MD; Twitter/Facebook/Instagram: @BlairMillerTV Caryn L.

New claims have surfaced that Delphi murder victim Libby German was almost decapitated by her killer. What's more, some are questioning whether the real killer is behind bars.   When the girls' bodies were first found on property owned by Ron Logan, he became a suspect. Police served search warrants on his property and took away his Ford Pickup truck for processing.  Logan was also arrested at that time on a probation violation. Ron Logan claims he was not at home when the kidnapping and murders happened, but was 20 miles away buying tropical fish in Lafayette. Logan says he got home around 6:30 in the evening and neighbors asked for permission to look on the property for the girls. Logan was questioned by detectives at length, but ultimately police let him go and moved on to other potential suspects.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Matthew Mangino – Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County); Author: “The Executioner’s Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States” Dr. Jorey Krawczyn – Police Psychologist, Adjunct Faculty with Saint Leo University; Research Consultant with Blue Wall Institute, Author: Operation S.O.S. – Practical Recommendations to Help “Stop Officer Suicide”  Sheryl McCollum  – Forensics Expert & Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder; Host of Podcast: “Zone 7;” X: @149Zone7 Joe Scott Morgan – Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author of “Blood Beneath My Feet,” and Host: “Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan;” X: @JoScottForensic Susan Hendricks - Journalist, Author: “Down the Hill: My Descent into the Double Murder in Delphi;' IG @susan_hendricks/ X @SusanHendicks  Barbara MacDonald -Court TV Documentary Producer, Co-host/producer of HLN’s “Down The Hill Podcast” and documentary, X:@NewsyBarbara  Kim Dunlap - Reporter for Kokomo Tribune, X: @KimDunlap_KT    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
