Nearly 15 years ago, a young nursing student named Holly Bobo disappeared from her home in rural Tennessee. A few years later, her remains are found — not far from where she went missing. This becomes one of the biggest cases in Tennessee history, culminating in a bizarre legal battle after a key witness admits to lying on the stand. Even after suspects go to prison for her death, the question remains for some: What happened to Holly Bobo? more

Small towns talk-and we're listening. Jennifer Wix was just 21. Adrianna, her baby girl, was just 2. On March 25, 2004, the girls were never seen or heard from again. We started this podcast with a sliver of hope that perhaps one of the girls was still out there- after all, who could harm an innocent little girl? We now have confirmation that neither girls took a breath past March 25, 2004. Our mission is the same- bring the girls home, but our search has changed- we're in a race to find their remains before any deals with the Devil can be made. Jennifer and Adrianna deserved better in our small town in 2004. What was once a Hush Town is now filled with Wix Warriors. Small towns talk…And we've been listening. We should start here, like I did. And come along as I take you deep into my 15 month long journey as a Wix Warrior.

In a small Tennessee town, a local serial killer was caught by the most unlikely investigators: A group of high school students, led by their teacher, Alex Campbell. Throughout the course of one school semester, the class pieced together a 30-year-old mystery and identified the killer behind at least six brutal murders. Shockingly, while the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations publicly agrees with their theory, no charges have been filed against the murderer. While some sleuthing students already have graduated, they, along with a fresh crop of current high schoolers, still want to finish the assignment, once and for all.  more

Welcome to the Trial & Error podcast, where seasoned criminal defense attorney Dana McLendon III, alongside co-host & forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Katie Spirko, take you on a deep dive into the tragic case of Holly Bobo, and the subsequent wrongful convictions of Zach Adams and his brother Dylan Adams. Holly Bobo's disappearance in 2011 led to a high-profile investigation, bringing a national media spotlight on what was termed the most expensive, exhaustive investigation in the history of Tennessee. Terry Britt was identified early on as a key suspect when he perfectly matched the physical description provided by the sole eye witness to Holly's abduction, his alibi crumbled, and physical evidence linking Terry Britt to Holly was found at his home and in his vehicle. This crime also bore striking similarities to prior sexual assaults committed by Terri Britt; it was, indeed, right in line with his MO. An indictment seemed imminent. Then, in a plot twist no one with a solid working knowledge of the investigation could have predicted, the State abandoned its interest in Terry Britt and returned its focus to 4 local ruffians who had already been conclusively ruled out as possible suspects when their alibis were thoroughly corroborated. Unwilling to let a lack of evidence stand in the way of mounting pressure to close the case, the State moved forward in 2017 in bringing Zach Adams to trial for the 2011 slaying of Holly Bobo. He was convicted by a jury despite a lack of any physical evidence linking him to the crime and substantial factual support for his claims of innocence. The State's case rested almost entirely on the star witness testimony of co-defendant Jason Autry, who eventually recanted his entire story in an interview with Dr. Spirko, explaining in detail how and why he lied during the trial. Serious allegations of corruption and incompetence have been leveled against the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Shelby County District Attorney's office for their handing of this case, including accusations of destroying evidence and yielding to political pressure for a conviction, regardless of the truth. Widespread speculation persists that Terry Britt is the true perpetrator, while he remains uncharged in connection with this gruesome crime.Our podcast offers exclusive insights, featuring interviews and direct audio footage from law enforcement officers who investigated the case and testified at trial, as well as first-hand accounts from the still imprisoned wrongfully convicted co-defendants, their families, and other key witnesses. We uncover crucial evidence that was never presented in court. more
