Bob breaks down the apparent wrongful conviction of Charles Raby. Charles was interrogated by Detective Waymond Allen, with the Houston Police Department. Much like Jennifer Jeffley, his interrogation led to Allen typing out a written confession, which Raby signed. Years later forensic evidence seems to prove that the confession was false.

I love your response!
I love what Bob does, he's amazing, but this new case smacks of White Saviour Complex.
This cop is the worst i have ever seen no wonder it took 10 years to get anywhere
what about the car that ran the fire truck off the road where was it coming from in such a hurry?
This guy is doing a better job than the investigators. Love how the cop is acting like he knows what this local is talking about it, and giving off "I got this" vibes, but they really don't. They are lost.
I’ve been listening to Truth & Justice from day 1 and this is the first episode that I have ever had to cut short and not finish. LeClare is so hell bent on pinning these murders on Robert. This interview is a prime example of how false confessions can happen. Robert is doing his best to answer things to the best of his memory and that’s not good enough for LeClare. I pray to God that not only will Robert & Christian be exonerated but that new evidence will arise that will find the true killer(s) and that they may be brought to justice.
Robert has every right to demand to speak with someone else and to be defensive. This detective is painting his own narrative and making it seem like Robert is guilty. You can clearly hear through this entire interview that he had nothing to do with it.
So many holes in the Prosecutor's explanation.
Lawyers have a code of ethics that they have to follow. While there are exceptions, most adhere to them while presenting evidence. If a lawyer doesn't go far enough to suit your taste, as a non-lawyer, perhaps they know that they can't present an assumption as fact?
First few seconds of him describing the place really made me want to be there. But the people would be too much for me. The people!
I've read many of the test results that you mentioned, and I don't see the same results that you do. One of us is very confused.
is it possible that John was paying someone "hush" money, in a nutshell blackmailed over something?? Just a long shot, would not leave any money trail whatsoever.
Hmmm.... The ex spouse with the retirement she git sounds very off to me....
I wonder if the Adnan is guilty people are the same people who feel like Johnny did abuse Amber Heard and she is a victim because those two groups of people just will not let go of their misguided beliefs even with all evidence to the contrary.
Bob about the detective he sounds like a bumbling moron. he doesn't ask questions that get to the answers and he did a terrible job on this case. he was so focused on it having to be Becky just because she was in the wheelbarrow but didn't do very much to determine if it could have been related to her dad or her stepdad or her mom being the target. but this is just a terrible job all over and the fact that he's sitting there and taking all this hearsay evidence from the parents and I don't know he just infuriates me and the only reason he got away with doing such a s***** job is because the parents died too. because I'd like to think that if Becky was the only one that died her mom would have been pushing for him to do better find Who Killed My Daughter solve this case.
okay so Bonnie is very combative why didn't you leave a card well because he talked to your son. like why don't you want your son to talk if he can clear his name like I get it from a legal perspective that nobody should talk to the cops without a lawyer present but he can still talk to the cops with his lawyer present and answer basic questions like how long did you know Becky Etc like there's a lot of questions he can answer that don't involve him getting arrested
yeah like I don't understand why they're so hell-bent on Robert and Christian who hadn't seen her and definitely Robert hadn't dated her in a while how do we even know Robert contacted her to go on that walk wasn't that provided by javier? like maybe she wanted to get back with Robert who she said she loved and hadn't stopped loving because Jacob even said that too and maybe that really made Javier mad like oh my God you went out with my cousin and now you're going to go back to Robert what about me and they could have fought and he could have killed her and then set the fire to cover it up
okay this officer pisses me off because whenever someone calls me at work I'd listen to them as though everything they say is important and I go ahead and get their name when they call I don't wait until they go through their whole field to be like oh and you're from where. he literally told you he was contacted by a private investigator but because he's in the military he wasn't able to be reached and blah blah and dude literally is like you say you were out in the field what do you mean were you in the military just like yes I told you all of this in the first minute of our conversation did you just check out. no wonder people get arrested for s*** they didn't do because they don't listen. I deal with insurance and I have to document everything that happened on a call why are police not required to document everything that they do on a case
Its odd how the cops always seem to downplay any info that relates to Javier, Jacob or Austin.
good questions here. I think it would better serve the public if we were encouraged to understand that "normal" appearing people could be monsters, and that the "weirdos" who are odd, eccentric, different, and into unusual things, are not necessarily going to be monsters. Jim Clemente had stated (and I paraphrase terribly here) that a monster was expected to have committed this crime, when a regular-appearing human being who could blend in with the rest and who was well integrated into the community is far more likely to have killed these kids. I understand what he means. But the public never seems to get it through our heads that "normal" people can be monsters, and that "normalcy" is the best possible disguise for a monster. But my God. They are monsters. Accept the idea that they seem human, and be better prepared to live in this world.
