In August 2025, Hulu released its highly anticipated three-part documentary Down the Hill: The Delphi Murders. Forensic pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr, who performed the autopsies on the two teenage victims in 2017, was among those interviewed. State police had specifically requested Dr. Kohr’s expertise, despite Delphi being 100 miles from his Terre Haute base, an honor he has considered a professional compliment and recognition of his reputation by law enforcement.

But when the series aired, Dr. Kohr found his five-hour interview reduced to less than a minute of screen time. His comments focused narrowly on the emotional toll of working child homicide cases, while his detailed insights on forensic evidence and the murder weapon were omitted. “I was disappointed,” he admitted, “that my substantive findings never made it to air, while amateur internet sleuths were given extended credibility.”
