My Mother's Lies: Did She Frame an Innocent Man?

About this episode

The episode explores the possibility that a mother may have framed an innocent man for murder, as her son uncovers troubling evidence in her files.

Jessica Currin was murdered in a quiet Kentucky town in the summer of 2000. Local housewife Susan Galbreath became instrumental in solving the case, working alongside law enforcement to help convict Quincy Cross. Sentenced to life, he remains in prison today. For years, the story seemed settled. Justice had been served. But when Susan's son Ray inherits a box of his mother’s files, everything begins to unravel. Inside are handwritten notes, letters, and photographs—fragments of an investigation that raise more questions than answers. Buried within his mother’s work, Ray believes he’s uncovered a chilling possibility: Did his mom help put an innocent man behind bars? The truth was hidden for decades.
