The case of rising TikTok star, Ali Abulaban (aka Jinnkid), explores the dark side of social media fame and the warning signs of intimate partner violence. The case is currently featured in a new Peacock documentary titled "TikTok Star Murders". On this week's episode of Residue, I recap the motives of the crimes portrayed in the documentary. A combination of domestic violence, jealousy, and a desire for control which led to the horrific murders.

The Tracey Thurman case was a landmark legal case in the United States that led to a significant change in the way police departments handle domestic violence calls.

In 1983, Tracey Thurman was brutally beaten and stabbed by her estranged husband, Charles "Buck" Thurman, in Torrington, Connecticut. Despite having a restraining order against him.

The Thurman case led to a major shift in the way police departments handle domestic violence calls, with many departments adopting more proactive policies and procedures to protect victims of domestic violence.

The case was also adapted into a TV movie, "A Cry for Help: The Tracey Thurman Story," which aired in 1989 and starred Nancy McKeon as Tracey Thurman.

Pretty and popular 15-year-old Kirsten Costas had it all. She was the teenage dream at Miramonte High School in Orinda, California in the 1980's. Jealousy and rage from a member of her peer group would cause a horrific crime to take place on the night of June 23, 1984. A community would never be the same. The 1994 TV movie, Death of a Cheerleader, starring Tori Spelling and Kellie Martin would be based on this case. The highest ranking movie of 1994 would spark a debate about whether or not the murder of Kirsten Costas was planned. Or was it a jealousy fueled impulsive rage?

On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1994, 18-year-old Heidi Allen was working alone as a cashier at the D&W Convenience Store located in the Oswego County Town of New Haven, New York.

About 7:50 a.m., a marked Oswego County Sheriff’s Department patrol unit was flagged down in the area by a citizen who reported that the convenience store was open, with lights and gas pumps on, but no one tending the business. The cashier had apparently vanished from the store.

In Part 2 of The Mysterious Disappearance of Heidi Allen, we explore the evidence, trial, and the newest suspects. It's been 30 years since Heidi Allen was abducted, and we are still searching for answers.
