  • Summary

  • Could the mysterious circumstances surrounding Kendrick Johnson's death point to something more sinister than an accident? As we peel back the layers of this complex case, we confront the heartbreaking reality faced by Kendrick's family—their son's body, discovered in a gym mat, and the many unanswered questions that followed. Our exploration takes you through the initial ruling of accidental death due to positional asphyxia, the subsequent independent autopsies suggesting foul play, and the Johnson family's unwavering determination to challenge the findings. We scrutinize the botched handling of evidence, the enigmatic surveillance footage, and the distressing revelation of Kendrick's missing organs, all while dissecting the family's legal confrontations with the funeral home responsible for his remains.

    This episode is a gripping recount of a decade-long pursuit of truth, marred by a reopened and re-closed investigation, a $100 million lawsuit, and a federal probe into potential civil rights violations that culminated without charges. We share the torment and resolve of the Johnson family, who stand firm against what they perceive as a cover-up, bearing the immense financial and emotional costs of their quest. Through a narrative that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about this case, we honor the memory of Kendrick Johnson and the ceaseless struggle for answers in a saga that refuses to fade into silence. Join us for a poignant and compelling journey through the enduring mystery of Kendrick Johnson's death.
