Does anyone know of a case or cases of anyone who was convicted of killing their infant

Heard this one on a podcast years ago. I can't remember if it might have been The Trail Went Cold, Crimelines (or its former iteration, In Sight), or something completely different. I am fairly sure it was in the US.

A young adult (university student kind of age) was at his parents' home. The parents went out to a literature or creative writing class or group. When they got home, their son was dead (I think hanging but am definitely not certain on this). It was ruled a suicide.

For reasons I can't remember, there are doubts as to this ruling, with some unusual circumstances leading some to believe that it could have been foul play.

There was an odd but important detail about the paramedics (whom the parents had called upon finding their son) spending a lot of time examining the gulley/valley/ravine behind the house.

Chat GPT has not helped! TIA for any pointers.

Hey everyone a crime has been tormenting me because I just can’t remember enough details to find it. ChatGPT was useless as well.

So a young guy, probably around early 20s killed 3 people at a house with a knife. (This is in the United States)… the last of the 3 was a 10 or 12 year old boy who barricaded himself in a bedroom but was unfortunately got. The murders started out in the garage with one victim and led into the house.

When the killer was caught he was talking about Ronin… the Japanese samurai who turn into assassins. He was a nerdy odd ball from memory…

Can anyone remember the case… probably mid to early 2000s.

Around 2018ish there was a girl at school who told me her dad was dead. She said that she was in her room and her parents were fighting. I believe it was in the backyard/frontyard. Then, apparently her dad pulled a g*n on her mom but realized what he was doing and sh*t himself instead. Now, from what I know, this most likely took place in Wisconsin, from around 2010-2017ish. If anyone could help figure out if this did actually happen, and any more info about it, it would be greatly appreciated! I’ve been wondering about this since I first heard it. If I remember any more details, I will make sure to update this post.

Edit: I was told this at a school in Pulaski, so it most likely happened around there. There is a possibility that they moved afterwards, but I know for sure it happened in the US.

The murder(s) occurred on a hiking trail or in woods used for recreation. There was some evidence that the killer was lying in wait and then hiked off-trail to a road to escape. I think there was more than one victim. I'm not certain on the method but I think it was firearms.

Not the Williams-Winans murder in Shenendoah.

Not the Cooper-Stoddard murder in Snohomish County, WA. I thought it was this one and when I was listening to The Trail Went Cold recently I expected to hear this detail, but it was not the case.

I’m looking for a case I saw on a crime documentary. A man murdered a woman, and he had numerous cuts and scratches on his arms from the victim fighting back and scratching him. When detectives first brought him in for questioning, they couldn’t get much information out of him. During a second interview, they asked him to remove his sweater and noticed all the scratches on his arms. He claimed they were from clearing brush or possibly from a cat. This detail untimetly leads to his arrest and deeper investigation into the murder.

My mother was a paramedic and she got a call in Winston-Salem North Carolina about a man with a gun who had killed his wife. He shoots himslef in the chest and they go in and find out the woman is alive, but she's missing part of her face. Her name was Dot, short for Dorothy. This was 2001-2002 she believes, she also thinks it was Fall. If anyone knows anything, my mom would really appreciate it!

More info: My mom remembered that Dot was a black woman, but she had blue eyes, technically only one blue eye since the other was missing from the wound.
