Welcome to my minisode of RIPPED from the Headlines where I bring you true crime updates on stories you may have missed during the week. This week I bring you a story about a woman who goes missing on a cruise ship, a woman shot by her boyfriend, an exorcism on a small child, a prank gone wrong, and finally, a serial killer who gets to roam the streets for the day.

On May 12, 2022, authorities announced that the remains of Brittanee Drexel have been found and that her alleged killer has been arrested. Here is her story.
