Why witnesses keep changing their story in this Kentucky murder case

from Crime Story

Quincy Cross is in prison for the murder of Jessica Currin. In August of 2000, Jessica’s body was discovered behind a middle school in Mayfield, Kentucky. Her clothes were ripped. She was bruised, beaten and her body burned. For years, it looked like the case would go unsolved. Until a woman named Susan Galbreath started digging around. Susan had an unlikely connection to the case: she said God had instructed her to solve Jessica’s murder. And while she followed God’s plan, the police began following her lead. From the beginning, all Susan could focus on was Quincy Cross. Eventually police set their sights on four other people as well. But after listening to the new podcast, Bone Valley: Graves County, you really start to doubt almost everything anyone says about this case. Because, despite a mission from God, this case may actually be built on a testimony of lies. This week on Crime Story, Kathleen sits down with the host and producers of Graves County, Maggie Freleng and Rebeca Ibarra.
