In this episode of Current Affairs, we delve into the heartbreaking case of Marissa DiNapoli, an 18-year-old whose life was cut short in Morgan Hill, California. Her ex-boyfriend, Martin Mendoza, is now the prime suspect in what police are calling a "heinous crime." We also provide an update on the "Beef Wellington murders" in Australia, where Erin Patterson has been found guilty of poisoning three relatives with death cap mushrooms.
