In a recent episode of his true-crime podcast Kohroner Chronicles, veteran forensic pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr took listeners inside a puzzling case from rural  Illinois— a case that underscores the critical role of thorough investigation and a healthy dose of skepticism when dealing with suspicious deaths.

Working Across Indiana and Illinois

Throughout his career, Dr. Kohr served as a forensic pathologist for up to 20 counties across Indiana and Illinois. While some of these areas had only part-time marshals or small-town deputies, Dr. Kohr stressed that appearances could be deceiving — and sometimes the most unassuming officers were the most tenacious and sharp.

In the case he recalled, it was a nearing-retirement sheriff’s deputy — whom Dr. Kohr referred to as "T.R." — who proved instrumental.

A Death That Didn't Quite Add Up

The case began with what appeared to be a tragic accident. A woman called 9-1-1 on a Sunday afternoon to report that her husband had accidentally shot himself while cleaning his gun in their family room. The scene was set: gun-cleaning supplies neatly placed on a TV tray, the man found dead in his recliner with a gunshot wound to the forehead.

First responders, including attentive paramedics and sheriff’s deputies, noted details that would later raise doubts about the initial story. Dr. Kohr emphasized that early observations at a death scene are crucial and that even small details can become pivotal.
