411: He Amputated Limbs for a Living... But Neil Hopper Was Hiding a Dark Secret

It's Halloween Night, 2001, and 21 year old Cindy Song is heading to one of her favorite nightclubs alongside her close group of friends who all attend Penn State together. They party the night away until Cindy is dropped off at her apartment at around 4 AM, still dressed in her bunny costume. The night seemed routine, and yet, this would be last time Cindy was ever seen again. What followed was years of police inactivity, sightings across the state, and potential connection to a serial killer. Still, the question remains: What happened to Cindy Song?

Today we're joined by Vanessa Diaz and Joe Trussell to discuss the case of their daughter, Megan Trussell. Megan was a freshman at the University of Colorado in Boulder when, following an argument with her roommate, she left her dorm room one night and disappeared under very mysterious and disturbing circumstances. However, from the jump, investigators and university officials botched the investigation. A few days later, her body was found off the side of the highway inside Boulder Canyon. Investigators immediately ruled Megan's death a suicide despite numerous suspicious circumstances. After the Colorado Bureau of Investigation reviewed the case and upheld the initial findings, Vanessa and Joe now feel they must take matters into their own hands to seek justice for their daughter and get to the bottom of what actually happened that fateful night of February 9, 2025.

Two days after Mica served her husband, Pastor John Paul Miller, with divorce papers, she was found dead in a heavily forested area hours away from her home. Based on the scene and the fact that Mica had purchased a gun en route to the location, investigators almost immediately ruled the case a suicide. However, as details about her marriage with JP came to light, people soon learned that Mica had been trapped in a relationship rife with sexual abuse, spiritual manipulation, and threats of violence. All of this culminated in some of her final words to loved ones: "If anything happens to me, JP did it."

Emily Longley was just 17 when she was found dead in her boyfriend's bed in Bournemouth, England. His family called it a tragedy. Police called it something else. On May 7, 2011, Anita Turner placed a 999 call from her family's home near Bournemouth. Her son, Elliot, had found his girlfriend, Emily Longley, an aspiring model from New Zealand, unresponsive in bed. But as detectives dug deeper, they uncovered a relationship defined by jealousy, control, and months of threats. What followed was a secretly bugged house, a missing confession, and the question of how far Elliot's parents would go to protect him. What really happened to Emily Longley?

On the night of March 12, 2011, in the quiet San Diego suburb of Mira Mesa, paramedics were dispatched to the home of Karina and David Ditto in response to Karina falling down the stairs. When they arrive, paramedics are surprised to find Karina is suffering from cardiac arrest – a strange anomaly for a fall victim. It’s clear this isn’t the scene of some accident but rather a heated domestic dispute. When Karina passes away from her injuries, David Ditto is quickly arrested once investigators learn how she actually died.
