🕒 Case Lineup – 5 Chilling True Crime Stories
🔹 Bailey Troy Gardner – A closing‑time robbery at Cedar Creek Marina collided with a young boater pulling in with his trailer. Plate readers led investigators to Adrian A. McLean, who was convicted in September 2025; two suspects remain at large and a $15,000 reward is offered.
🔹 Katelin Jordyn Crocker – An on‑again, off‑again boyfriend’s 911 admission and body‑cam confession ended a bright future in cosmetology. After skipping court and going on the run, Alexander Harmon was captured in 2025 and, on September 19, 2025, was convicted and sentenced to life.
🔹 Nyteisha Lou Lattimore – A brutal attack inside her apartment was followed by a predawn walk to the Purple People Bridge; her three‑year‑old son, Nylo, was lost in the Ohio River and never recovered. Digital breadcrumbs—from Uber records to bridge cameras—tied Desean Brown to both killings; in September 2025 he pled guilty to two counts of aggravated murder and received life without parole.
🔹 Sheryl R. Ferguson – A rocky marriage and alcohol boiled over on Aug. 3, 2023; he called 911 claiming an accident, but a text—“I just lost it. I just shot my wife.”—and recorded statements undercut that story. After a hung first jury, a second jury in 2025 convicted former Judge Jeffrey Ferguson of second‑degree murder; the judge said the case was “absolutely overwhelming.”
🔹 Timothy Smith – An Ocala assisted‑living director missed work; a welfare check found a staged scene heavy with bleach. Phone and camera trails, deleted Ring footage, and finances pointed to his husband, Herbert Swilley—convicted of first‑degree murder on Sept. 19, 2025, and sentenced to life.
