Brothers in Crime

E72 Break

E71 The Menendez Family

Today we’re talking about Erik and Lyle–two infamous brothers who murdered their parents. The Menendez brothers aren’t just any other brothers in crime. We’ve waited a bit to talk about this one, and with the new Netflix show out today, we thought it was as a good a time as any. These two also have a habeas petition currently pending, and are hoping to see their life without the possibility of parole sentences shortened–one way or another. 
We had some recording issues with this episode, and we apologize for the audio quality that isn’t up to our typical standard.

E70 Christopher Harper

A few episodes ago we told you about the wrongful conviction of Marvin Grimm, Jr. (E62). Shortly after that episode dropped, a nice lady reached out to us about the little boy, “CH,” who was the victim in that case.  
That lady is Sarah –and she is “CH’s” sister.  Now that her brother, Christopher’s, case has recently been turned upside down by the Court's decision to vacate Grimm's conviction, her family is understandably looking for answers. 
Join us as we take another look at this case – not from Marvin Grimm’s perspective, but backing up and just talking about what we know about the whole case. Today’s episode is about Christopher Harper and finding out what happened to him in Richmond, Virginia nearly 50 years ago.

E69 Brittany Phillips

It’s been twenty years. Maggie–Brittany’s mom–has been waiting for answers for twenty years. Who killed Brittany? Why? Today we discuss the heartbreaking murder of Brittany Phillips, who was buried on her 19th birthday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Despite a lot of DNA testing and thousands of people “eliminated” as suspects, the case continues to remain unsolved. There have been a number of twists and turns and developments–even within the last year.  
Somebody knows something. If you have any information, please call (918) 596 - COPS  –or–  go to tulsapolice.org to report it. No tip is too small, and you never know what piece of the puzzle will break a case wide open!

E65 Fred Zain: Forensic Fraud

Fred Zain: Director of Serology at the West Virginia state crime lab and Chief of Physical Evidence at the medical examiner’s office in Bexar County Texas. These are two titles Zain held, but titles don’t tell the whole story. Not even half of it! This episode details Zain’s faulty forensic work (we’re being kind here), the effect it had on many people and a two states’ justice systems, and the aftermath of it all.

E64 Wichita Massacre

Wichita, Kansas. The year is 2000. It’s December, cold, and snowy. A baseball coach, symphony librarian, and group of wholesome young friends with bright futures would have their lives and legacies forever altered by two brothers from Dodge City. The series of events making up the brothers’ crime spree is commonly referred to as the “Wichita massacre.” Somehow the title is less horrific than what actually happened. This is a rough one.
