    4 - A Junk Science
    Oct 4 2024
    Forensically speaking, blood spatter analysis isn’t the most reliable. Delve further into the details with Kylie and Rory this week as they discuss the forensic bind between the legal cases of Warren, Tim, and David. Also hear about one of the (in Kylie’s opinion) worst so-called experts we’ve encountered in our journey so far.

    3 - David Camm
    Sep 27 2024
    If 11 people said they’d seen a suspect for three hours during the time the murders were committed, would you believe them? Sounds like a rock solid alibi to Rory and Kylie. Yet, somehow for David Camm, it wasn’t strong enough of an alibi. Even when the real perpetrator came out of the woodwork, the eyes were still on David Camm.

    2 - Tim Masters
    Sep 20 2024
    Tim Masters was only a fourteen-year-old boy when he walked by a dead body in a field. Thinking it was a prank, he thought nothing of it. Join Kylie as she recounts to you and Rory the story she spent months lost in. There was no way Tim Masters should’ve even been remotely a suspect but the police were stubborn in their convictions.

    In the season 2 opener, Kylie and Rory bring you the story of Warren Horinek. A former Fort Worth police officer suddenly in the hot seat after his wife dies in uncertain circumstances.

    6.2 - An Albertan History of Shitty Justice
    Apr 21 2023
    In the season finale of A Whole Life Later, Kylie tells you about the other stories she came across while researching Connie Oakes' story. Alberta has a scary history of greatly mitreating indigneous peoples within the justice system. These two stories are just drops in the barrel. Alberta needs to do better.

    6.1 - Wendy's "Fight" To Make It Right
    Apr 14 2023
    To continue Connie Oakes' story, this week, Kylie and Rory discuss the other exoneree. Wendy Scott was the reason Connie was ever even looked at. Did Wendy actually have something to do with the murder though?

    Kylie and Rory are back to present the final story of the season to you!
