When a man disappears on Christmas Day in 2015, his family becomes frantic, prompting an investigation that uncovers a web of violence and a chilling crime scene in Cherokee National Forest.

Rachel Elaine Waters, originally from Georgia and now residing in New York City, is expected to surrender to authorities in Georgia after being indicted on charges of malice murder and felony murder.

She is accused of administering a lethal dose of morphine to her mother, Marsha Sprayberry Foster, who had Alzheimer's and was staying at an assisted living facility in Evans, Georgia.

Waters, a former government associate investigator, has a background in writing and charity work.

Foster, a retired Civilian Personnel specialist, was described as a kind and talented person who continued to appreciate nature despite her Alzheimer's diagnosis.

Damien McDaniel, charged with multiple murders in Alabama, is now connected to 14 murders in Birmingham.

Charges include capital murder of a firefighter, murder of UPS driver Anthony Love Jr., and murder-for-hire.

Additional suspects were identified in a mass shooting at a nightclub.

Victims of the shooting have criminal histories, including previous murder charges.

Investigations are ongoing, with officials vowing justice.

McDaniel was arrested in October 2024 and is in jail.

When his probation was revoked, he was transferred to the Alabama Department of Corrections.

The case continues to develop as authorities seek to bring all responsible parties to justice.
