  • The Knife in the Ice: How One Print Framed an Innocent Woman

    The Knife in the Ice: How One Print Framed an Innocent Woman
    3 Nov 2026
    The Knife in the Ice: How One Print Framed an Innocent Woman

    A single partial fingerprint on a knife handle sent an otherwise unremarkable bookkeeper to jail and exposed a forensic cover-up; the knife was found standing perfectly vertical in a frozen culvert on December 9, 2014 - blade down, handle up - and one photo sequence captured it untouched. How did a lead evidence technician’s own left thumbprint end up three centimeters from the butt if the weapon sat upright in ice under clear daylight?

    In this episode, we present the sequence of events, the physical evidence and the procedural choices that shaped the investigation and prosecution, and follow the question that unspools when a photographed scene contradicts the lab report: who altered the record, and why?

    Person: Dennis Falk
    Date: December 8-9, 2014
    Person: Sharon Bennett
    Person: Roy Hamilton
    Location: Ashford Marsh

    - The knife was found before 7:00 AM on December 9, 2014, standing blade-down in a frozen culvert.
    - The finder, Ruth Burke, took 14 photographs of the knife before calling 9-1-1 and did not touch it.
    - A partial fingerprint with 12 ridge points was located 3 centimeters from the butt end of the handle.
    - Roy Hamilton, a nine-year evidence technician with the Galen County forensic unit, recorded the left-thumb print as contamination in a supplemental report.
    - Sharon Bennett was arrested on December 11, 2014, and a receipt for a ten-inch chef’s knife purchased ~14 months earlier was found in her apartment.

  • The Tape That Lied: How Rain Revealed a Murderer

    The Tape That Lied: How Rain Revealed a Murderer
    1 Nov 2026
    The Tape That Lied: How Rain Revealed a Murderer

    Rain pooled on the asphalt and a six-minute-forty-second video played backward for a packed courtroom - the single clip the trial hinged on. Which part of that footage was wrong, and how did a question about rain direction six years later upend the case?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline from the ATM video at 9:58 PM to the discovery of Angela Price’s body five days later, and follow the records-room lead that reopened the investigation. How did a software glitch and one investigator’s weather check change everything?

    Person: Angela Price
    Date: November 13, 2007
    Location: Farwell Road Savings and Loan ATM
    Event: Video of Angela at ATM playing backward for 6 minutes 40 seconds
    Person: Kathleen Mason (14-year-old) found Angela’s tote bag at 6:55 AM on November 14

    - Angela Price withdrew $40 at 9:58 PM on November 13, 2007 at the ATM.
    - The courtroom video played for 6 minutes and 40 seconds and every juror watched it twice.
    - Angela’s gray two-door car was found the next morning in the Grange Hall parking lot, 0.7 miles from her last confirmed location.
    - Her body was recovered on November 19, 2007 from a drainage culvert less than 200 meters from the bank.
    - Meteorological records show 0.62 inches of rain fell between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM the night she disappeared.

  • The Shoe in the Blizzard: Why He Placed Her Sneaker to Be Found

    The Shoe in the Blizzard: Why He Placed Her Sneaker to Be Found
    29 Oct 2026
    The Shoe in the Blizzard: Why He Placed Her Sneaker to Be Found

    A single left sneaker-size seven, white canvas with a pale blue stripe-stood upright and dry on top of the snowpack during a blizzard on a sealed road, placed after the road had been closed and before the plow arrived. Who walked out into the storm, set that shoe down with the lace tied, and vanished without leaving a single track?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from Amanda Watson’s last phone ping along the Route Nine corridor to the moment Kathleen Armstrong discovered the sneaker on Ridgeline Road, asking how that shoe became the center of an eleven-day trial and what motive would drive someone to make it findable.

    Person: Amanda Watson
    Location: Ridgeline Road, Halverson County
    Date: discovered at 6:14 a.m. during a blizzard
    Status: missing for fourteen days before shoe identification
    Person: Chad Johnson, 31

    - The sneaker was found at 6:14 a.m. on a road closed since 11:00 p.m. the night before.
    - Amanda Watson had been missing for fourteen days when the shoe was identified by noon that day.
    - The shoe was a size seven white canvas sneaker with a pale blue stripe, lace tied and dry inside.
    - Amanda’s phone last pinged a tower along the Route Nine corridor on the Tuesday evening before she was reported missing.
    - Ridgeline Road is about one mile inland from Route Nine, reached by a gravel spur few would take at night in January.
