In November 2011, 20-year-old Andrea Eilber was found murdered in the basement of a house where she was house sitting. Her boyfriend was the main suspect, and his story about what happened sure sounded suspicious. But before she would get justice thanks to DNA, Andrea’s case would create a new injustice when the wrong man was convicted.

“Convicted by a Hair.” Reasonable Doubt. Season 2, Episode 1. 2018.

Live show audio, y'all. Let's discuss three true crime cases and the horror movies they inspired. First, we’re going to be discussing The Hills Have Eyes franchise and the legend of a cannibalistic Scottish clan that inspired it. Then, we’ll talk about the movie Changeling and the tragic murder case at its center. Finally, we’ll discuss Borderland, which was inspired by a drug lord who thought a human sacrifice would make his men invisible.

In September 1968, 21-year-old Carol Jenkins was walking door to door in Martinsville, Indiana, selling encyclopedias. On one of her last stops, Carol told the woman who answered the door that two white men had been following and harassing her. As a Black woman, Carol was frightened. Thirty minutes later, Carol was found murdered.
