May 27, 2015 / 03:36

This episode covers the 1989 murder case of Chip Flynn, the wrongful conviction of Crosley Green, and the investigation's flaws. Key discussions include the initial 911 call by Kim HCK, the police response led by Diane Clark, and the circumstances surrounding Flynn's death.

On April 4, 1989, Kim HCK called 911 claiming her boyfriend, Chip Flynn, had been shot. However, she was three miles away from the crime scene and struggled to provide accurate directions. Patrol Sergeant Diane Clark noted Kim's reluctance to leave her vehicle when they arrived.

Chip Flynn was found with his hands bound and a bullet wound. He was conscious but did not reveal who shot him before he died. Former Deputy Mark Rxy described the rapid deterioration of Flynn's condition.

Kim claimed they were hijacked by a black man, which led to Crosley Green's wrongful conviction. The episode highlights the racial bias in the investigation and the lack of evidence against Green.

After 25 years, new evidence suggests that Crosley Green may be innocent, raising questions about the true identity of the killer.

TLDR

The episode examines the wrongful conviction of Crosley Green in the 1989 murder of Chip Flynn, highlighting racial bias and investigative flaws.
