About this episode

The episode explores the murder of Jessica Currin and the revelations uncovered by Ray McCord regarding his mother's investigation.

In the summer of 2000, Jessica Currin was found murdered in a small Kentucky town. Ray McCord’s mom Susan Galbreath had been integral in solving the crime, and even helped law enforcement put a man, Quincy Cross, in prison for life. After Ray inherited a box of files from his mom, his world is turned upside down. Among the hand-written notes, letters and photos, he finds what he believes is a sinister lie… As he sifted through his mother’s investigation, he realized things just weren’t adding up.
