Brothers in Crime

E42 Martin Luther King Jr. Pt 1

Few Americans have impacted the world like Martin Luther King, Jr. did. In this episode we discuss his life, accomplishments, and untimely death. Dr. King died at the age of 39 during an era where too many of the country’s best and brightest died far too young.If you listened to this episode, thanks for joining us on the Brothers in Crime podcast!

E39 Courtney & Christine - Pt 2

In this episode we pick up where we left off in part one: with whose DNA was matched to one of the crimes. There’s no doubt Courtney and Christine were the victims in these cases, but what you’re about to learn is that they weren’t the only victims. Get ready to be upset because in this episode we talk about flawed forensics and less than inspiring work by more than one person associated with these cases.  If you listened to this episode, thanks for joining us on the Brothers in Crime podcast!

E38 Courtney & Christine - Pt 1

In this episode we talk about two separate, but eerily similar, cases out of Noxubee County, Mississippi. These cases involve the abductions, sexual assaults, and murders of two young girls. The facts are absolutely infuriating and equally heartbreaking. And tragedy in these cases didn’t end with the murders–that’s where it started.

E36 The Boy in The Box

Most of us have spent a little while in time out, but imagine if instead of being sent to your bedroom, your parents sent you to the room they had built in their garage. A 8’ x 8’ room with a bed and bucket. No air conditioning. Did I mention you live in Florida? 
As absolutely crazy and infuriating as its sounds, that’s exactly what kind of hell Tim Ferriter’s adopted son had to live through in Jupiter, Florida. We watched most of the hearings and trial in this case and break it all down for you on the Brothers in Crime.

E35 JonBenet Ramsey Pt 5 Epilogue

In this epilogue for JonBenét’s case, we dive a little deeper into a couple areas, clear up a few things, and share our personal thoughts on the case. For the record, we weren’t there and don’t know who killed that little girl. More than anything, we’d like to see whoever did it face justice, assuming that’s still possible. Either way, it would be great to see movement in this case.
