One tells the crime. One hears it for the first time.
Rachel Barber was 15 years old and training full-time at a performing arts school in Melbourne when she told her boyfriend she had a job after class.
An old female friend was going to pay her a lot of money. Rachel did not say the woman’s name. Then she never came home.
When police found the woman from the tram, they found more than a confession: clothing that did not belong to her, handwritten planning material, and a fake identity waiting to be used.

Febriana tells John the case of Kouri Richins, the Utah grief-book author convicted of murdering her husband, Eric, with fentanyl.
At first, she appeared to be a widow helping her children process their father's death.
But investigators found financial pressure, life-insurance disputes, forged documents, and a prior poisoning attempt behind the public grief.
This is the case of Diane Downs, a mother who drove to an Oregon hospital with her three children shot in the car.
She said a stranger attacked them on a dark rural road.
But the story did not fit, and her surviving daughter would later say there was no stranger.
