Twenty years ago, Edward Ates was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. I sat down to talk with his wife Kimberly Miller about the journey the family has been on, the lasting effects, and their preparations for Ed's release which happened a few weeks after we talked.

When a crime ends in a conviction, the victims or their families are often allowed to give a statement to the court about the impact of the crime on their lives. But when these life altering events go unsolved, do not end in a conviction, or aren’t crimes at all, the victims and their families do not have this opportunity. The stories on this podcast are their Impact Statements.

Updates on cases and the show

On July 10, 2010, Lyle and Marie McCann failed to show up at the airport to pick up their daughter and granddaughter. Their adult children feared they had become lost on their road trip. 

But then police announced a person of interest in their disappearance. And this began a 6 year winding road through the legal system that isn’t entirely over yet.

The Disappearance of Lyle and Marie McCann

In 1971, 9-year-old Anthony Murrill climbed into his top bunk as his older brother Vincent dozed off. This was the last confirmed sighting of Anthony Murrill.
