More Puzzling Questions Surrounding the death of Kadie Major
This is a follow up episode to a March 20th episode we did on the death of Kadie Major.
On January 17, 2008, the bodies of pregnant 26 years-old Kadie Majors and her ten month old daughter, River, were found near railroad tracks in Moncks Corner, SC.
A coroner ruled Kadie's death a suicide but the pathologist at MUSC in Charleston ruled her death "pending.”
The case was closed until 2018.
In this episode we take a look at the proposed narrative that Kadie suffered from postpartum depression; the odd internet searches found on the Major's home computer; where Kadie's truck was found; how Aaron Major knew to send Kadie's mom to the place where Kadie's body was found; and other questions.

More Puzzling Questions Surrounding the death of Kadie Major

We start with the latest news on Colleton County Clerk of Court, Becky Hill.
You may remember that Neil Gordon co-authored, Behind the Doors of Justice, with Becky Hill. Melissa Gordon was the photographer for the book.
Since the book was published, Hill admitted to plagiarizing a portion of the book and she faces multiple ethics investigations. Hill was also accused by Alex Murdaugh's defense team of potential jury tampering for some of the statements she allegedly made to jurors.
Neil and Melissa Gordon join the podcast to discuss how the controversy surrounding Hill affected sales of the book and their opinion of Hill. Plus, the Gordon's discuss how law enforcement interviewed them about their time spent with Becky Hill.
Neil Gordon is starting a new project, a book and video series, with Mike Petchenik. You can hear all about it and you can find out more at www.trialwatchers.com
