American Dread: The Murdered Girl the Coroner Kept: The Louise Betts Story
About this episode
The episode explores the disturbing case of Louise Betts, a murdered girl whose remains were mishandled by the coroner.
In 1977, seventeen-year-old Louise Betts disappeared from Loves Park, Illinois. Months later, her remains were found in a rural Boone County field, and Curtis Brownell was eventually convicted of her brutal murder. But more than forty years after Louise was buried, her family learned something almost unimaginable: the Boone County coroner who handled her remains had kept her skull. This is the disturbing story of Louise Betts — a missing girl, a convicted killer, decades of parole battles, and a final betrayal that remained hidden for more than four decades.
