This story

This story breaks my heart. The ineptitude of the investigators is astonishing then again the same state botched the Memphis 3 investigation 30 years ago. Thankfully the boyfriend was acquitted. The jurors are infuriating.

Mom and Step Dad

I’m hate to say this about people that lost someone, but listening to the mom and step dad’s ignorance blows my mind away.

Keith Morrison is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!

This was a sad case on so many levels.. Frost and Dipert are horrible men! This poor kid Jones gets shafted and was innocent and the perv Dunn that was guilty got away with it. I could listen to Morrison narrate the phone book! He’s phenomenal!
