Calvin says that the first thing you noticed right away was the low ceilings. It was half that of the other floors. This truly felt like a nonexistent floor. Built between the crawlspaces of two actual floors. The taller members of the group buckled their knees to give the necessary headroom. And then excited, but also anxious, the group spread out and began to explore. Calvin cautiously walked the length of a dimly lit, concrete hall. The layout wasn’t much different than your normal hotel corr...

"It is undoubtedly the most hideous and dastardly crime I have ever known," the medical examiner, Dr. Weisman, said, as he left the autopsy room. Sheriff Ludwick agreed. "[It’s] the worst thing that’s happened in Knox County while I’ve been here.” Leaves crunched under his shoes and the sun’s last rays pried their way into his squinted eyes as John walked down Crescent Street. He had an errand to run. John and Albert lived on the same street—merely its name changed as you crossed Main Street. Jo...

Part 1-of-4. I want to tell you a true crime story that is close to me. Closer than perhaps any story I’ve told so far. It’s the story about the death of my friend’s brother. In 1987, Jacob was killed when he was only nine-months-old. His brother, Eric, was only six at the time—but, shockingly, he was blamed for his baby brother’s death. This is Eric and Jacob's story.
