Convicted on Bite Mark Evidence P2: The Charles McCrory Case

In 1985, Charles McCrory found his wife, Julie Bonds, brutally murdered in their Andalusia, Alabama, home. Just two small marks on her arm—misrepresented in court as a definitive “bite mark”—became the sole forensic evidence used to convict him for her murder. A forensic odontologist, famed for testifying at Ted Bundy’s trial, claimed the impressions matched McCrory’s like a fingerprint. Yet decades later, that same expert fully recanted the testimony, acknowledging the scientific consensus now recognises bite mark evidence as unreliable “junk science”. With no blood, no DNA, and hair in the victim’s hand that didn’t match McCrory’s, his conviction rested entirely on this flawed forensic interpretation. Over 40 years later, even as two independent forensic dentists testified that the so called bite mark was never human, Alabama courts repeatedly denied him a new trial, judging that his lengthy imprisonment still stood, and that procedural hurdles outweighed modern science In July 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review his case. Justice Sotomayor warned that wrongful convictions like his, based on “faulty science,” are startlingly common and urged state and federal lawmakers to enact stronger safeguards to prevent miscarriages of justice.

Katherine Knight: The Brutal Murder of John Price in Aberdeen

In the quiet town of Aberdeen, New South Wales, John Price was a well-liked father and hardworking abattoir operator. Katherine Knight was the woman he’d tried to leave more than once, terrified of how violent she could become. What unfolded in February 2000 remains one of the most disturbing crimes in Australian history. In this Crime at Bedtime episode, Jack walks you through the chilling case of Katherine Knight, the first woman in Australia to receive a life sentence without parole. After years of escalating violence, manipulation and threats, Knight attacked her partner John Price, killing him in a frenzied and brutal assault. What police found inside the home the next morning defied belief — a crime scene so shocking it made headlines around the world. We explore Knight’s background, her violent history in previous relationships, the events leading up to the murder, the forensic evidence, and the court case that revealed the full extent of her actions. It remains a case that continues to horrify even the most seasoned homicide detectives. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Kidnapped or Complicit?: - Part2 Mary Rice

On 31 January 2017, Mary Rice claimed that a man named William Boyette broke into her trailer and woke her at gunpoint. She said she had previously had little to do with Boyette, who was now, according to her, forcing her to leave with him in the middle of the night. Just hours earlier, Billy Boyette had murdered two women in a motel room, fatally shooting them both. What followed was a week-long manhunt and killing spree that left four women dead, Billy Boyette committing suicide, and Mary Rice arrested as his accomplice. Mary has always maintained that she was just another of Billy's victims—kidnapped and forced to accompany him on his crime spree. The police, however, told a different story. Authorities believed Mary was a willing participant in Boyette’s crimes and subsequently charged her with murder and accessory after the fact. She was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years. This is her story, as told by her from her prison cell. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!

Hidden evidence P1 - Arkeene Broaden

At 18 years old, Wayne County charged Arkeene and his 16-year-old friend, Cody Clark, with felony murder, robbery, conspiracy, and felony firearm in connection with the June 2015 shooting death of their close friend, Martez Johnson, at a house on Heyden Street around 10:00 PM. Authorities alleged that Arkeene drove Cody and Martez to meet Andre Thomas with the intent to rob Martez. They claimed that once they arrived, Cody and Martez went inside while Arkeene stayed in the car. Inside the house, Cody allegedly shot Martez in the head when Martez tried to escape. Arkeene demanded a trial, but after the jury was selected, his attorney passed away. The next attorney pushed him to accept a plea deal. Initially, the offer was for 18 years, then reduced to 14 years. Despite Arkeene repeatedly insisting on going to trial because of his innocence, the attorney continued pressuring him. Eventually, the plea offer was reduced to 8 years, plus an additional 2 years for the gun charge. The attorney warned that if Arkeene did not take the deal, he would face life in prison. Young, afraid, and unfamiliar with the legal system, Arkeene ultimately accepted the plea deal to avoid the possibility of a life sentence. He now believes that if he had been aware of all the evidence, he would have rejected the plea and insisted on going to trial. Later, Arkeene’s family hired Professional Investigator Steve Crane from ACS Professional Investigations to conduct a proper investigation into the case. This is what they found.

The Black Monk of Pontefract: Britain’s Most Violent Haunting

It began in a modest council house on East Drive, in the sleepy Yorkshire town of Pontefract. What followed would go down as one of the most aggressive and disturbing hauntings in British history. The Pritchard family reported levitating objects, phantom footsteps, and a sinister figure in a black cloak who appeared in hallways, bedrooms, and even photographs. With over 30 witnesses and years of documented events, this was no passing ghost story. Tonight, we dive into the chilling case of the Black Monk — the entity said to be tied to medieval executions and unholy ground.
