Who Killed Jodi Parrack? - 680 May 25, 2026

Show notes

November 8, 2007. Constantine, Michigan. On November 8, 2007, 11-year-old Jodi Parrack went missing and was found hours later in a cemetery, murdered. The investigators on the case immediately zeroed in on family friend Raymond McCann. For years, they hounded him, interviewing him over 20 times. Finally, they were able to charge him with perjury and keep him behind bars while they gathered evidence to charge him with murder. But then another young girl was grabbed in almost the same way as Jodi and the question became, was Ray still involved or had the police ruthlessly pursued an innocent man?

In the weeks after 9/11, letters laced with anthrax began arriving at newsrooms and Senate offices, killing five people and sending the country into a second wave of panic. The investigation that followed lasted years, consumed governmental resources, and ultimately pointed to a lone government scientist, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died before he faced trial. The government closed the case in 2011, but not everyone was convinced they got it right.
