Episode 185: Jason Carroll

Join Katie and Liz on this week’s episode of True Crime New England as they navigate the complicated story of the murder of Sharon Johnson and her alleged killers. 36-year-old, heavily pregnant Sharon was found brutally stabbed and strangled in a construction site in July of 1988 in Bedford, New Hampshire. Police eventually tracked down an 18-year-old who had a child with Sharon’s stepdaughter, the child of her husband, Kenneth Johnson. Through some digging, police determined that Kenneth hired his grandchild’s father and his friend to kill his wife. What followed was dozens of messy interviews that have extreme evidence of false confessions and coercions. Tune in to hear the details as 19-year-old Jason Carroll still sits in prison after being convicted over 34 years ago, fighting for his innocence every day.
