Keep up with current episodes of Morning Cup of Murder at morningcupofmurder.com April 27th: Ronald Adrin Gray’s First Victim (1986) There is the common theory that, if someone has had a rough beginning, sending them off to the military has a good chance of straightening them out. A man named Ronald Adrin Gray enlisted in the military, after a rocky start to his life, when he was just 18. But, despite the good that the military has to offer to some, all this move did was give him a chance to unleash a sudden reign of terror in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Keep up with current episodes of Morning Cup of Murder at morningcupofmurder.com April 23rd: Rodney Reed Kills? (1996) DNA has helped to solve thousands of cases over the years. We rely heavily on it as a piece of evidence and it has the potential to solve an unsolvable case. However, the presence of DNA, and how it got there, can be misinterpreted. On April 23rd 1996 a white woman was killed and on her body was the DNA belonging to a black male. And while the DNA was enough to convict, there remains the question of how it got there.
