Missing Plane MH370 Mystery, Horrifying Chris Watts Case, D.C. Sniper Saga - Megyn's "True Crime" Mega-Episode

The episode explores three high-profile cases through extended interviews with specialists who reconstruct events from available evidence. Each discussion emphasizes how data, behavioral patterns, and investigative choices shape what can be known, while leaving certain motives and sequences partially unresolved.

MH370 disappearance and pilot actions

Aviation journalist and former pilot William Langewiesche lays out the flight path using primary radar returns and Inmarsat satellite handshakes. The Boeing 777 turned sharply west after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur, crossed the Malay Peninsula, then flew south over the Indian Ocean for roughly five hours until fuel exhaustion. The transponder was deliberately switched off at the moment of the first turn, and the aircraft climbed to 40,000 feet, consistent with cabin depressurization that would render passengers unconscious within minutes. Langewiesche argues the data leave no plausible technical failure and point directly to deliberate action by Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah. He notes the captain’s flight-simulator records contained a route that closely matched the final track and that the captain had been experiencing personal difficulties, though the precise trigger remains unknown. Later searches recovered only scattered debris in the southern Indian Ocean; the main wreckage has never been located.
