Ep 173173: The Beatrice Six: Keith Morrison Investigates
1 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!

Unsolved Mysteries Ep 4: No Ride Home
On April 3, 2004, 23 year old Alonzo Brooks and 3 friends drove to a party in La Cygne, Kansas--about 50 miles from where they lived in Garner Kansas. It would later be said that Alonzo was the only black person at the party, and though by all accounts he was having fun, racial slurs had been directed at him. Later that night, Alonzo's three friends left the party, unknowingly stranding him there. When Alonzo didn't show up at home, the police eventually got involved and did search of the area near the party, but didn't find him. A month later, when the family was allowed to do their own search, they found Alonzo's body within minutes--and just behind the house where he was last seen. YOU GUYS WE LAUNCHED A NEW PODCAST!!

In early April, 2011—nobody knows the exact date—a prominent family vanished from their lavish townhome in Nantes, France. A few day later, close family members and friends of the family received a typewritten, unsigned letter from the mother and father stating that they had relocated to the Unitec States with their four children. They were now deep undercover working with the US government and would not be able to make further contact.
