On New Year's Eve, 2020, Morgan Metzer was at her best friend's house, where she had been planning to celebrate the new year. She was feeling tired and decided to call it an early night. She drove home in Cherokee County, Georgia, got into bed, and quickly fell asleep. In the middle of the night, when she opened her eyes, she saw the shadow of a man standing in her bedroom doorway.
 
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Morgan Metzer. Morgan was attacked in her home by a masked man dressed all in black. The man spoke to her, but in a disguised voice. All Morgan could think about was her children and living to see them again. Morgan survived, and during the investigation into her attack, the police identified an unlikely suspect.

Introducing: CRIME HOUSE DAILY

In 2024, Matthew and Kathryn Restelli were living together on a seven-acre property in Aguanga, about eighteen miles east of Temecula, California. The couple had been married for about seven and a half years, but the marriage had started to fall apart around 2020. Kathryn decided to take the kids to her mom Tracey Grist's home in American Fork, Utah. She took the kids there without asking her husband, and that caused further friction.

However, authorities noticed some signs that led them to believe that everything was not as it seemed.
