#145 - In 1997, the owner of an Oklahoma City motel was beaten to death with a baseball bat. Shortly into the investigation, the police arrested a teenager, Justin Sneed, for the murder. He quickly confessed to killing the motel owner but told the police someone else hired him to do it. Justin Sneed said that his older friend and manager of the motel, Richard Glossip, was the mastermind behind the murder. Both men were convicted of the murder, and Richard Glossip was sentenced to the death penalty.

Can a man be executed solely on the confession of a convicted killer and without any forensic evidence?

The next day, her naked and lifeless body was found 20 miles away from the restaurant at a military air station. Initially, the police suspected the husband was involved with his wife's murder.

#143 - On the morning of December 19, 1991, the body of thirty-six-year-old Kim Ancona was found in the men's restroom of the Phoenix, Arizona, bar where she worked. She had been fatally stabbed and sexually assaulted. Her killer left behind little physical or forensic evidence. Blood at the crime scene matched Kim's blood type, and the police didn't perform semen or DNA tests. Investigators relied on bite marks found on Kim's breast and neck

Shortly after the murder, the Phoenix police identified their first suspect, Ray Krone. Krone was Kim's friend and became a regular customer at the bar. Phoenix police asked Krone to make a Styrofoam impression of his teeth for comparison. And according to the police, his teeth matched the bite mark on Kim's body. But is a bite mark enough evidence to convict someone of first-degree murder?

#142 - In November 1969, Mary Scott arrived home to her San Diego apartment after her shift as a cocktail waitress. The next day, her best friend checked on her after she learned that Mary didn't show up to work. When her friend entered the apartment, she found that her friend had assaulted and strangled to death.

#139 - On February 15th, 1991, windsurfers discovered the naked body of a young Jane Doe along US Highway 1 in Key West, Florida. She had been assaulted and strangled. For years, authorities tried to identify the woman and her killer. The only clue they had was that she wasn't from Key West because she didn't have tan lines and wore moccasin shoes.

Without a name, she became Valentine Jane Doe because investigators believed she was murdered on Valentine's Day. Could forensic science help give her an identify and catch her killer?
