Description

SEASON 1: On Nov. 8, 1992, Angela "Mischelle" Lawless was murdered on the exit ramp of the interstate near her home in rural Missouri. Less than two years later, an 18-year-old man named Josh Kezer was convicted of the crime. Kezer was exonerated in 2009. This podcast examines the investigation of the murder, and whether law enforcement intentionally convicted an innocent man while protecting the state's star witness from suspicion. This podcast is hosted by a veteran journalist and is based on original reporting, interviews and thousands of pages of records.

SEASON 2: The focus of this season is primarily the focus of mothers and how they're fighting for justice in the deaths of their sons and daughters. Episodes focus on suspicious deaths law enforcement seem to have given up on. We also examine stories of law enforcement officers involved in abuse of power circumstances.
