Unmasking the Texas Suitcase Serial Killer | The Case of Christine & Michael Morton | UNSEEN

“Where was Daddy, Eric?” - On August 13th, 1986, in the quiet suburbs of Austin, Texas, 3-year-old Eric Morton is found wandering outside alone. When a neighbor recognizes the boy and brings him back home, he makes a terrifying discovery: Eric’s mother, Christine, has been murdered. Detectives, and the District Attorney quickly hone in on Michael Morton, Eric’s father and Christine’s husband, as their prime suspect, but several key pieces of evidence are missing and the police aren’t revealing the full story. It will take 25 years, and determined lawyer John Raley, to unlock the hidden memories of a scared little boy, free a wrongfully convicted man, and finally catch Christine’s real killer. - Written, directed & edited by Justin Chalifoux Researched by Tiffany Loxton Voiceover by William Akana Produced by Alexandra Salois & Salim Sader - Getty Images Detective Diaries: Guilty Until Proven Innocent, Breaklight Pictures & The Content Group, 2021 60 Minutes: Evidence of Innocence: The Case of Michael Morton, CBS News, 2012 An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton Story, Glass House Productions, 2013 Michael Morton Interview, Austin American-Statesman, 2014 Morton to be released, KXAN News, 2011 Anderson gets 10 days in jail, community service, KXAN News, 2013 Mark Norwood found guilty of 2nd murder, sentenced to life, KXAN News, 2016 Ex-prosecutor Ken Anderson Jailed 3 Days for Misconduct in Sending Innocent Man to 25 Yrs in Prison, Fox7, 2013 Michael Morton Freed in Texas, innocenceproject, 2011 Learn more about your ad choices.
