Eva LaRue, Athena Klingerman, and Amber Rasmussen—the voices behind the Paramount+ documentaries My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story and Don’t Date Brandon—will take the stage to share powerful, deeply personal stories of survival, resilience, and reclaiming control after trauma. Joining them is Susan Zirinsky, President of See It Now Studios, who will offer insight into how these stories are brought to life and the responsibility that comes with telling them. Together, they’ll reflect on what they endured, how it impacted their lives, and, in some cases, their children’s, and how they began to rebuild.
Moderated by Inside Edition anchor Eva Pilgrim, the session will also explore how true crime storytelling can empower survivors and shift the focus back to the voices that matter most.
The plea is not the end of the story for the Long Island serial killer—it marks the beginning of a new chapter in one of the most closely followed cases in recent history.
At CC26, join filmmaker Josh Zeman, journalist and podcaster Alexis Linkletter, and attorney Robert Macedonio for a deeper examination of the Gilgo Beach murders following Rex Heuermann’s guilty plea.
Moderated by journalist Julie Grant, this panel draws on years of reporting, investigative work, and legal analysis to unpack both the criminal case and the family’s experience.
On Sept. 9, 2023, Scott Spivey was shot in the back following a high-speed chase — and the shooters walked free, protected by a Stand Your Ground law critics say has become a license to kill.
At CC26, Kate Arthur, @variety managing editor, will sit down with Valerie Bauerlein — host of the @wsj investigative podcast Camp Swamp Road — to discuss the South Carolina road-rage killing, an alleged police cover-up, and the growing controversy surrounding Stand Your Ground laws.
Callahan Walsh — Executive Director of @ncmec , co-host of America’s Most Wanted and In Pursuit, and lifelong advocate for missing children — will be moderating the Up and Vanished session at CrimeCon Las Vegas. Callahan brings a legacy unlike anyone else in this space.💛
Tom Rizzo, @officialoplive co-host and veteran law enforcement leader, will moderate the America’s Greatest Detective panel at CrimeCon 2026 — Law&Crime’s annual spotlight on some of the most extraordinary investigative work in the country. This year’s panel will feature an elite group of female detectives sharing the cases, challenges, and realities behind the badge.
