On June 12, 1963, NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers was shot and killed in Jackson, Mississippi. Byron De La Beckwith was tried twice in 1964 and both juries failed to reach a verdict. He was indicted again in 1990 and convicted on February 5, 1994, thirty years after the killing. This episode tells the case from the court record: what was charged, what each trial ended in, what the Mississippi Supreme Court decided in 1997, and what the record does and does not show about the evidence.

The Luigi Mangione trial is the most consequential true crime case of 2026 — not just for its legal weight, but for what it revealed about the relationship between Americans and the healthcare system that the victim ran. Three spent shell casings. Three words. A ghost gun. A sealed notebook. A five-day manhunt from Manhattan to Pennsylvania. And a public reaction that no one was prepared for. The Murder Tape Khronicles presents the full story of the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder, the evidence, the trial, and the question that the legal system cannot answer.

On May 27, 2026, prosecutors announced a fifth second-degree murder charge against Jesse Lee Calhoun — a man already accused in the deaths of four women across Oregon. The fifth victim named was Ashley Real, a woman who had reportedly filed a domestic violence complaint against Calhoun in November 2022, before she disappeared. This case raises one of the most disturbing questions in recent Pacific Northwest true crime history: how did the warning signs get missed? In this full case breakdown, Murder Tape Khronicles examines the documented timeline behind The Jesse Lee Calhoun Case, including his early release from prison, reported post-prison supervision violations, the Ashley Real complaint, the multi-county investigation, and the murder charges connected to victims across Multnomah, Clackamas, and Polk counties.

On New Year's Day 2023, Ana Walshe was killed in the basement of her family's home in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Her husband Brian Walshe then placed an Amazon order at 4:57 AM for tarps, cleaning supplies, and a saw. He searched "how to dispose of a body." He made multiple trash runs to a transfer station thirty miles away. An employee at that facility noticed something in the waste stream. Investigators found Ana's remains — and the digital trail Brian left behind documented every step he took to hide what he had done. This episode covers the Ana Walshe case from the first missed work call to the life sentence: the forensic evidence, the disposal route, the Amazon timestamps, and what the case says about the systems that were in place before January 1st.
