Summary Both of these cases were previously aired on this series in February 2023 as 'Heat Will Destroy' and March 2022 as 'I Call Him Monster'. The stories were both single-story, hour-long presentations. For this installment, the two hour-long cases have been edited to two 30-minute segments. STORY 1. This installment details the murders of James Barnes of Florida. In December 1997, he murdered his wife, Linda Barnes, in Melbourne, Florida. This confession is on audiotape. James Barnes only agreed to confess if Linda's ex-husband, Tony Verzi, was present. In January 1998, James Barnes was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife. The murder of Linda Barnes was not his first murder. On November 1, 2005, at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Florida, James Barnes confessed to the 1988 murder of 41-year-old Patricia Miller.

The Miller confession is on videotape. STORY 2. November 9, 2015, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Police respond to the site of a car crash alongside a highway. Investigators at the scene quickly realize this is no accident, but rather an elaborate cover up for a cold-blooded murder by a relentless psychopath. Lori Marie Vargas, age 37 and a mother of two girls, had been killed and placed in a car that had been set on fire as a cover-up. The person who murdered her was her fiance, Donald Spice. His motive was a $200,000 life insurance policy that was taken out on her, with Donald Spice as the beneficiary. Spice had been a career criminal who had previously served prison time for a suspected 1,200 'breaking and entering' crimes. In the end, for the murder of Vargas, Spice was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
