Episode 55 Amy Butcher
Amy Butcher never expected to be close to a killer. But while attending Gettysburg College, her friend, Kevin Schaeffer, murdered his ex-girlfriend Emily Silverstein right after walking Amy home from a bar. Even though she wasn’t the victim of such an awful crime, Amy’s world turned upside down that fateful night. Author of the memoir, Visiting Hours, Amy spent years trying to figure out how to juxtapose her understanding of who Kevin was with the convicted murderer he became.
Episode 54 David Buller
In the winter of 2001, Professor David Buller was found murdered in his office at the University of Toronto. With no potential suspects and zero DNA evidence at the scene, Professor Buller’s case quickly went cold. For over 20 years, his family has hoped for answers, but none have surfaced yet.
Episode 53 Dr. Robert Knox
The anatomy labs at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland had a difficult time procuring cadavers in the 1820s. Laws at the time limited professors to only obtaining the bodies of criminals sentenced to death, leading educators to take desperate measures in order to obtain specimens for their classes. These included paying ‘body-snatchers’ to dig up the recently deceased or, in the unfortunate case of Dr. Robert Knox, unknowingly accepting the bodies of murdered citizens.
