The mother who sought the truth and found death.

The mother who sought the truth and found death.

A woman investigating the Lake Waco murders was found dead in her home days after claiming she had a key witness. Her son, on death row, never knew what she had discovered.

In this episode, we analyze the case of David Spence and how a judicial system can produce an irreversible and possibly erroneous outcome. We examine the story of Juanita White, the mother who sought the truth about her son's conviction.

Case: David Spence
Victim: Juanita White
Location: Lake Waco, Texas
