In 2002 a woman’s body was found in a pasture on a field near Cadiz, Kentucky in Trigg County. Police focused on one suspect who they arrested later in 2002. What happens from there is a series of twists and turns some locals may have seen coming, but would not openly theorize or talk about. This is the story of the unsolved murder of Chantell Humphries. Listener discretion advised- this episode includes discussion of murder as well as brief mention of rape and domestic violence.
