Description

On Buried Bones, journalist Kate Winkler Dawson and retired investigator Paul Holes dissect some of history’s most compelling true crime cases from centuries ago. Together, they explore these very old cases through a 21st century lens. With their years of expertise and knowledge of modern forensics, they reflect on how far science has come and bring new insight to old mysteries. 


Together, Kate and Paul have examined many cases including the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the first time fingerprinting was used as evidence in a courtroom and a possible serial killer in 1960s Nashville. They ask, was the right person convicted or was someone wrongfully accused?


See pictures, diagrams and evidence from each case on Instagram @buriedbonespod.

I think they missed an obvious (and likely) possibility as to why the murders went unreported: In 1950's Georgia, communities of color had every reason to avoid interactions with law enforcement...

Host bemoans racism in arrest while presenting no evidence of racism. Ends up presenting lots of circumstantial evidence saying the black guy was involved, and she ends up saying he is responsible. BUT he is acquitted, so why was racism introduced at all? Just tell the story, if racism is a part of it, so so. If it is not, then don't politicize.

Narrator so offended evidence suggested a woman because that is not sufficiently woke. Turns out it was a woman. Please just follow/speculate on the evidence, leave the woke BS out.

as a not-very-careful soap maker, I can verify that strong bases are much better at eating through flesh (mine) than strong acids.
