ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Two women. Two staircases. Two autopsies that refuse to add up.
In this episode, Maryn and Christie step into the courtroom as the state's medical experts take the stand to lay out what the bodies of Kathleen Peterson and Elizabeth Ratliff really tell us. Between neuropathologists, forensic reports, and a family member's gut-wrenching return to a blood-soaked staircase, the details pile up in ways that are hard to ignore — and harder to explain away.
Christie breaks down the science from the jury box while Maryn digs into the human moments outside it, and together they start connecting threads that stretch back nearly two decades. By the end, you'll be asking the same question the jury had to face: how many coincidences does it take before they stop being coincidences?
Tune in for a deep dive into the evidence that's building the state's case — and get ready, because the defense is about to fight back.
