The death of Caylee Anthony — and the murder charges against her own mother, Casey Anthony — made headlines nationwide. Here's a breakdown of the controversial case.

“Robert Berchtold kidnapped me when I was 12, and again when I was 14. And with that, my brainwashing began,” Jan Broberg says in the trailer for the documentary "A Friend of the Family: True Evil." 

While parents often fear their children being abducted by a stranger, experts say it’s far more likely they could welcome an abuser through their front door.

Trevor Milton touted a new technology that could have revolutionized the commercial shipping industry. Now he's on trial for fraud. 

Following two alleged kidnappings, Jan Broberg is involved with the Peacock series "A Friend of the Family," which dramatizes her alleged experience with Robert Berchtold.

After moving into his daughter’s Sarah Lawrence College dorm room, Larry Ray slowly exerted control over a group of students.

Larry Ray gained the trust of his daughter’s friends by regaling them with stories of his successful past and taking an interest in their lives. According to authorities, he then used his influence to torment most of them for years.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams described Larry Ray as an “evil man” who used “violence, threats and psychological abuse to try and control and destroy” the lives of his daughter’s friends.

"Shadowland," a new docuseries on Peacock, explores the forces that drive people to extreme beliefs, often upending their own lives in the process.

The upcoming Peacock documentary "Sex, Lies and The College Cult," will delve into how Lawrence Ray was able to move into his daughter's college dorm, gain psychological control of her friends and form a sex cult.
