    188: Exonerated: The Story of Carmen Mejia
    Apr 14 2026
    After 22 years behind bars, Carmen Mejia is finally free. In 2003, a tragic accident left a 10-month-old baby dead. What should have been recognized as a devastating mistake quickly turned into a murder conviction—despite no evidence of abuse and testimony supporting Carmen’s innocence. She was sentenced to life. It took decades, the work of the Innocence Project, and the voices of those who never gave up… to uncover the truth. This episode dives into:
    • A tragedy turned wrongful conviction
    • The failures that led to 22 years lost
    • The fight for justice—and finally, freedom
    This isn’t just a case.
    It’s a reminder of what happens when the system gets it wrong.

    ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Child death, wrongful conviction, trauma

    What started as a small school incident turned into a calculated nightmare. When drugs were found in PTA mom Kelli Peters’ car, it looked like an open-and-shut case… until everything unraveled.

    Missing evidence.
    And a shocking truth—this wasn’t an accident.

    This episode dives into the twisted story of a neighborhood rivalry that escalated into a full-blown setup, exposing just how far people will go for revenge.

    Feb 24 2026
    Angela Hammond was 4 months pregnant when she vanished from a payphone in Clinton, Missouri on April 4, 1991—while on the phone with her fiancé Rob. He heard her scream, then raced to save her. As he drove, a green pickup truck passed him going the opposite direction, and he heard Angela scream "Robbie!" He turned to follow but his transmission failed. Despite multiple witnesses and detailed descriptions of the truck and suspect, Angela's case remains unsolved 35 years later.
