When Lorena Gallo married John Bobbitt on June 18, 1989, she believed they were going to live happily ever after. However, the honeymoon stage didn’t last long and over the years she suffered abused at the hands of John. Things finally came to a head on the night of June 23, 1993, when, according to Lorena, John came home that night and raped her. After he fell asleep, Lorena went to the kitchen for a glass of water but instead grabbed an 8-inch kitchen. She returned to the room and severed John’s penis. 
The story became sensational with international news coverage which focused more on the act and not on how things got to that point.

In the spring of 1985, 11-year-old Alan Brown was going to spend his spring break at his dad's house. He packed his things, hugged his mom, Brenda, and told her he loved her, then went on his way. Unbeknownst to Brenda, it was the last time she would see her son alive. On Friday, April 12, Alan was reported missing by his stepmother, Rosalind Brown.
As the investigation into his disappearance began, detectives were unable to find any information about his whereabouts. That changed on April 30, when Alan's body was found in the Flint River. His death was ruled an accidental drowning, but Brenda knew there was foul play involved. For the next two decades, she was determined to find out who had killed her son, and her efforts paid off. Two people were arrested in connection with Alan's death; however, they were people who were supposed to take care of Alan, not harm him.
