Episode Details

In November 2015, 41-year-old Tyrita Julius was sitting in her car in Linden, New Jersey with her 15-year-old daughter when a gunman opened fire, striking her eight times at close range. Against all odds, Tyrita survived the brutal attack and began the painful process of physical recovery. But just as she was trying to rebuild her life, she vanished in March 2016.

Five months later, her body was discovered wrapped in garbage bags and buried under three feet of soil in a Long Branch backyard — an electrical cord still wrapped around her neck. What investigators uncovered next was even more chilling: the same person behind the initial shooting had orchestrated her murder. This is the disturbing true story of obsession, betrayal, and a relationship that turned deadly.

We examine how a jealous ex-girlfriend allegedly enlisted an accomplice to carry out not one, but two violent attacks on the woman she claimed to love. From the dramatic investigation that connected the crimes, to the courtroom testimony that exposed the truth, this episode explores one mother’s fight for survival and the calculated cruelty that ultimately took her life.
