It’s chaos, blood, and body parts. Today Dr. Kendall Crowns joins Nancy Grace to discuss his 35-year-career and the launch of his new podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue."

Each week Dr. Crowns will discuss stories and cases from his over 35-year journey with death, from the tornado alley of Kansas, to the bloody Memphis shoreline of the muddy Mississippi River, to the ultra-violence of Chicago, and finally, the methamphetamine fueled insanity of Texas.

Encompassing his days as an autopsy tech, medical student, resident/fellow, and finally as a medical examiner, his stories range from humorous to horrifying and cover a wide variety of topics from week to week. You will never know what you’ll hear, will it be courtroom drama, decapitations, gangland shootings, feet with no body, or chihuahuas feasting on the flesh of decomposing bodies? The cases will never end.

It will always be different, and there is never a dull moment. Tune in each week and climb aboard, your nightmares will never be the same.

Mayhem in the Morgue takes listeners deep into the bloody, bizarre, and often unbelievable
realities of forensic pathology. Each week, Dr. Crowns shares gritty stories from the morgue, the
crime scene, and the courtroom. Expect gallows humor, hard truths, and cases that range from
unsettling to unforgettable — think decomposing feet with no bodies, courtroom bombshells,
and the kinds of deaths that even seasoned pathologists can’t quite explain.
If you think you’ve heard it all… you haven’t.

A new Bryan Kohberger video circulating online sparks concerns of a possible prison leak or an AI creation. The apparent jailhouse video, shot from above, shows Kohberger in a medical cell, hands bright red, placing items on a shelf, and then staring intensely at it.

None of the facilities where Kohberger has been housed have claimed the video came from inside their wards. A statement from IDOC: "We are aware of the videos circulating online and are investigating the matter.While we cannot yet confirm the veracity of the videos, if verified, they are a clear violation of IDOC policy, and the parties responsible will be held accountable, up to and including termination."

Prosecutors have long said there was no sexual component to the Kohberger murders, but never-before-seen evidence showed multiple shirtless selfies on Kohberger's phone.

Investigators also found Kohberger's sickening internet searches of attacking and raping girls in their sleep. Heather and Jared Barnhart of Cellebrite, experts in digital evidence, were going to testify at trial that Kohberger used search terms for pornography like "passed out," "sleeping," "forced rape," "drugged," and "voyeur." Jared Barnhart says "all of his terms were consistently around non-consensual sex acts."

His sleeping rape fetishes raise questions about his plans for the night of the murder.

Kohberger is currently serving four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole at Idaho Maximum Security Institution for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.
