174: Who Killed the Coed?
30/03/2021 Duration: 53minThe murder was so brutal—so violent—that detectives on the scene remarked that they’d never seen anything like it.

173: The Beatrice Six: Keith Morrison Investigates
16/03/2021 Duration: 59min1 murder. 6 convictions. But did any of them do it? Sometime after midnight on February 6, 1985, 68-year-old Helen Wilson was raped and brutally murdered in her small apartment in downtown Beatrice, Nebraska. In an era before DNA testing, all investigators had to go on was the fact that the killer had a very rare genetic marker in his blood type. But there were no other viable clues. But four years after the crime, arrests started being made, one after another—six in total. And though they all claimed to have had nothing to do with the crime—and none of them had the rare genetic marker—they were all convicted. But when DNA evidence eventually exonerates them, the real killer is found out. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO? On our Patreon feed, you'll find over 140 FULL BONUS episodes to BINGE RIGHT NOW!
