Season 3: Episode 10- The Murder of James Marion Corvin (With Detective Tim Carroll)

Episode Title: Solving a Cold Case: The James Marion Corvin Homicide   Episode Summary: In this episode of Just One More Question, Marc and Aleks are joined by retired Chattanooga Police Detective Tim Carroll to delve into one of the region’s most haunting cold cases: the 1979 murder of James Marion Corvin. Corvin's decomposed body was discovered in the trunk of a car parked at Parkridge Hospital—months after he disappeared. For years, the case went cold—until a confession nearly two decades later unraveled a story of drug debts, deception, domestic coercion, and a long-buried murder weapon. Detective Carroll recounts the incredible circumstances that reopened the case in 1994 and the painstaking work that ultimately led to the conviction of James Steven Turner. From unreliable witnesses and spousal privilege to ballistic challenges and cold-case confessions, this episode explores how a murder hidden beneath the surface for years was finally brought to light.
