Murder: True Crime Stories

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the long and winding legal battle over the murder of Carrie Daugherty. Micah Johnson claimed he was insane at the time of the killing, setting up a courtroom fight that would stretch across thirteen years, two separate trials, and an overturned conviction. Again and again, juries were asked to weigh the same haunting question: was Johnson genuinely detached from reality, or did he know exactly what he was doing when he took Carrie's life? Carter Roy traces the trials, the appeals, and the competing portraits of a killer, in a case where the facts of the crime were never really in doubt, but the state of the man behind it was fiercely contested to the very end.

In 2008, 24-year-old Knoxville server Carrie Daugherty was ambushed and killed outside her Tennessee home, a sudden act of violence that shattered the people who loved her. Suspicion soon turned to Micah Johnson, the ex-boyfriend of Carrie's best friend, and the search for him escalated into a dramatic standoff on Knoxville's Henley Street Bridge. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Carrie, the young woman whose life was cut short in her own driveway, the tangled web of relationships that investigators believe led to her death, and the tense manhunt that ended with a suspect in custody but a motive that raised as many questions as it answered.

In January 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse vanished from her condominium in Orlando, Florida, just days after returning from a vacation with her boyfriend. When she failed to show up for work, her family knew immediately that something was wrong, and her car was found abandoned at an apartment complex more than a mile away. Surveillance footage captured a person of interest parking her car and walking away, but the images were too blurry to ever identify who it was. Despite an exhaustive search, a devoted family who never stopped fighting, and years of investigation, Jennifer has never been found and no one has ever been charged. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse, the frustrating dead ends and missed opportunities that defined the case, and the enduring anguish of a family still searching for answers nearly two decades later.

In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the trial and turbulent legal aftermath of the murder of Julia Wallace. Convicted largely on circumstantial evidence, William Herbert Wallace was sentenced to death, only for his case to make British legal history when an appeals court overturned the verdict, ruling it could not be supported by the evidence. But clearing his name in court did nothing to settle the question in the public mind. For decades, writers, detectives, and armchair sleuths have argued over whether Wallace was a wronged man or a brilliant killer who got away with it, and a later theory pointed to a different suspect entirely. Nearly a century on, the murder of Julia Wallace remains one of the most analyzed and fiercely debated cases in British criminal history, a puzzle that may never be solved.

In January 1931, a mysterious phone call was left for insurance agent William Herbert Wallace at his chess club in Liverpool, England, summoning him to a meeting the following night at an address that, it turned out, did not exist. While Wallace wandered the city searching for the phantom street, his wife Julia was beaten to death in the front parlor of their modest home. Almost immediately, suspicion fell on Wallace himself, but the timing was maddeningly tight and the evidence stubbornly ambiguous. Had a killer lured him away to clear the house, or had Wallace engineered the whole thing as an elaborate alibi? In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the quiet, unassuming couple at the heart of the mystery, the eerie phone call that set the night in motion, and a crime so precisely constructed it would baffle investigators from the very first hour.
