A 911 call in Tulsa, Oklahoma came in as a possible suicide, but what first responders found told a very different story. Joshua “Josh” Hilberling had fallen 17 stories from a high-rise apartment, and inside that apartment was his wife, Amber Hilberling, who was heard saying, “I pushed him.” What happened between Amber and Josh in those final moments became the center of a case that quickly split opinions: was it self-defense, an accident, or something more? As investigators dug into their relationship, allegations from both sides, and the physical evidence inside the apartment, the story became far more complicated than it first appeared. And even after a conviction, this is one of those cases where people still ask the same question ... What really happened in that apartment?

William Bryan went in for what should have been a routine surgery. Instead, he died on the operating table after the wrong organ was removed. At first, it looked like medical malpractice, but as investigators started digging, a different picture began to form - one involving prior surgical errors, questionable decisions in the operating room, and allegations that what happened didn’t stop when the surgery ended. Now, a grand jury has stepped in… and this case is no longer just about a mistake. This is the update episode of Thomas Shaknovsky.

A welfare check leads deputies to a backyard and a discovery no one expected. Investigators say a newborn was born alive inside a home, but never taken to a hospital, never reported, and never given a chance.
