The Silver Bullet Murder - January 1 2025

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.

Keep up with current episodes of Morning Cup of Murder at morningcupofmurder.com INFORMATION UPDATE: Recently I was contacted with more information regarding the above case and I wanted to share this information with you: "The State officials and media have hidden the real cause and manner of Daye's death... which had no nexus to the non-fatal stab wound that Mangum inflicted.  The wound was successfully treated surgically, but on the third postoperative day, Mr. Daye, an alcoholic, went into delirium tremens.  In treating this situation Duke University Hospital staff intubated Mr. Daye in his esophagus instead of trachea which led to his brain death.  Following a week of observation without neurologic improvement he was electively removed from life-support and he died.  He did not die of a complication as the media would have the general public believe.  The media is aware that Duke University medical staff was responsible for Daye's brain-death and actual death.  I notified legislators about this in an e-mail dated February 11, 2015. LINK to e-mail to legislators about Mangum's wrongful conviction On October 25, 2019, world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril H. Wecht issued a report on Crystal Mangum's case in which he determined that the manner of death was an accident due to malpractice by Duke University Hospital staff and not a homicide secondary to complications of a stab wound inflicted by Mangum.  The last paragraph of his eight page report stated that the opinion of the medical examiner regarding the manner and cause of death were not credible because his autopsy report had significant discrepancies with the medical records. LINK to Dr. Cyril Wecht's October 25, 2019 report Since I began notifying the media on October 31, 2019, there's been only one media source to discuss Dr. Wecht's exonerative report about Crystal Mangum and that was a "Women & Crime" podcast, Episode 30 posted on November 3, 2020. Dr.s Meghan Sacks and Amy Shlosberg, two criminology professors discussed Mangum's case and both concluded that she shoud not have been prosecuted for murder.   A link to it can be found on my blog site: LINK to my blog site Sid Sidney B. Harr, M.D., Lay Advocate Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong." April 18th: Crystal Mangum Indicted (2011) The little boy that cried wolf. It’s a nursery rhyme our parents read to us to teach us the value of always telling the truth. That we would be pre-judged and not taken at our word if we lived a less than truthful life. On April 18th 2011 a woman was indicted for the murder of her live-in boyfriend. This was a woman that everyone knew. Because, just years before her name was in every newspaper and on every newscaster’s lips for an accusation that was later deemed as her crying wolf. This story isn’t like our typical daily murder story. But, it’s one worth knowing.
