Author: Audible May 25, 2026 Duration: 50:21
November 8, 2007. Constantine, Michigan. On November 8, 2007, 11-year-old Jodi Parrack went missing and was found hours later in a cemetery, murdered. The investigators on the case immediately zeroed in on family friend Raymond McCann. For years, they hounded him, interviewing him over 20 times. Finally, they were able to charge him with perjury and keep him behind bars while they gathered evidence to charge him with murder. But then another young girl was grabbed in almost the same way as Jodi and the question became, was Ray still involved or had the police ruthlessly pursued an innocent man?

Hosts Justin and Aaron approach each story with a blend of meticulous research and thoughtful dialogue, dissecting the known facts while considering the unanswered questions that linger around infamous crimes, unsolved mysteries, and historical conspiracies.
