They Looked Into His PAST... #truecrimeinvestigation #truecrimeshorts #crimejunkies #podcast

May 07, 2026 / 01:40

This episode discusses the case of Britney and her connection to Chad Carr, including details about their relationship and the circumstances surrounding her death.

Britney's family describes Chad as merely Jeff's sister's boyfriend, with no significant ties to Britney. They mention that Britney referred to him as Elva's boyfriend and expressed discomfort about him.

The conversation shifts to the nature of the crime, suggesting that the motive was murder rather than theft, as nothing was stolen from the house.

Chad's past is examined, revealing a 2001 incident where he allegedly assaulted a woman with a jack handle, a weapon similar to what was believed to have been used in Britney's murder.

Listeners are left with unsettling parallels between Chad's previous actions and the circumstances of Britney's death.

TLDR

The episode examines Britney's murder and Chad Carr's troubling past connections.

This was the first time they were ever even hearing the name Chad Carr. And according to Britney's mom and sister,
00:00:06
he and Britney seemed to just be like ships passing in the night, like orbiting each other from time [music] to
00:00:11
time, maybe sure, but like simply acquaintances. He was just Jeff's sister's boyfriend. No one they talked
00:00:19
to could connect Chad to Britney in any meaningful way. And even in all our reporting, the only thing we were able
00:00:24
to dig up is that Britney had mentioned Chad before to an aunt, not even by name, just calling him Elva's boyfriend.
00:00:31
But she said that he gave her the creeps. And listen, when you talk about motive, like we know nothing from the
00:00:36
house was stolen, so it's not like he went to the house to try and take things while she was sleeping and then she
00:00:42
surprised him. Someone went to that room to kill her. That was the goal here. I mean, to me there has to be some kind of
00:00:51
sexual component though, like with her being naked [music] and her underwear being missing.
00:00:56
>> I agree, but it's just that no one can point to anything that Chad ever said or
00:00:59
did that would be a precursor to this. At least not to Britney, but when they did look into Chad's past, there was
00:01:08
something hard to ignore. You see, years earlier >> [music] >> in 2001, a woman reported to deputies that Chad
00:01:15
[music] assaulted her by hitting her in the head with a jack handle, which I don't know if you're familiar with that.
00:01:22
>> Yeah, it's a like a tire iron. >> Yeah, the kind of weapon that Britney was possibly killed with. The weapon
00:01:29
that they've never been able to find. And listen, once you hear the details of this other attack, it's hard not to draw
00:01:37
some chilling parallels.
