Happy Independence Day, USA! This week, we dive into the chaos and crime that often unfold during July 4th festivities. We kick things off with some of the ridiculous (and illegal) predicaments people tend to find themselves in while celebrating the holiday. Then, Lauren shares the heartbreaking story of Deundray Cottrell, who was tragically murdered while visiting family over the holiday weekend. Authorities are seeking the public’s help, so please check the information below if you have any details that could aid this ongoing investigation. Lastly, Kenzie recounts the twisted tale of Chandler Halderson, a man who went to horrifying lengths to protect his web of lies from unraveling. Join us as we explore these chilling and sobering reminders that not every July 4th story ends with fireworks and celebration.

Police are asking anyone with information on the case or Morris’ whereabouts to contact the Homicide Unit at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777
