#549: Geo-Forensics 1

On December 9, 2001, Kathleen Peterson died a terrible death, suffering for over 2 hours, bleeding from scalp lacerations and blunt force trauma while she lay in the stairwell of her North Carolina home. Her husband Michael Peterson was convicted of her murder after a contentious trial where all sorts of theories about who or what actually killed Kathleen were posited. Had Michael killed her in a fit of rage as the prosecution argued? Or did she fall down the staircase in a freak accident as claimed by her husband? The world became fascinated by this case due to a documentary called “The Staircase” which chronicled the run up to Michael’s trial as well as his post conviction appeals through 2018. HBO Max has made the docuseries into a scripted show, starring Toni Collette as Kathleen and Colin Firth as Micheal. The RCP team looks back at our original coverage of “The Staircase” documentary and compares it with the new show. How do both projects stack up to the truth?

First and foremost, we extend our deepest sympathy and sorrow for the 21 victims who lost their lives on May 24th, 2022 at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. We are holding their families and community in our hearts along with the other victims who were injured and survived. Next we want to count down and analyze those 78 excruciating minutes when a teenager with an assault weapon entered the school grounds terrorized and murdered these young children and their two teachers. We have a lot to say about the police response, the behavior of the male teenaged killer, and where do we go from here in the aftermath of this unspeakable and preventable mass shooting.We know thoughts and prayers do not work. It's time for real talk from experts who know what works best and for real action.

We finish analyzing the heart wrenching case of Mariah Alvarez, the 2-year old who died of blunt force trauma to the head. Her mother Melissa Lucio was convicted of her murder and sentenced to death. But did Melissa in fact commit capital murder? Was she criminally neglectful of her child? Was she physically abusive? Was Mariah’s death an accidental fall down a steep stairs? Was Mariah abused by someone else? An eyewitness says someone else banged Mariah’s head on the floor that day. Was Mariah’s death a combination of all of these factors? Why did Melissa get the death penalty instead of life in prison?
