In this electrifying premiere episode in the series, we dig deep into the complex, controversial case of Christian "Kit" Martin. This decorated Army Major, who had once flown into the most dangerous war zones in the Middle East, was plunged into a different kind of danger - accused and convicted of a shocking triple homicide in the quiet town of Pembroke, Kentucky. 

This episode's narration uniquely takes us beyond the face value of court reports, spotlighting the allegations of deep-seated corruption within the Kentucky judicial system and the claimed involvement of Martin's ex-wife, Joan Harmon. The intrigue thickens as the hosts meticulously dissect the timeline of events, from the discovery of the bodies to the arrest and trial of Martin, shedding light on the perplexing elements of this case. 

With special guest Michael Conzachi, a seasoned veteran with three decades of experience as an LA homicide detective who also served with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, we explore Mike's insight as a private investigator specializing in Army veterans. Conzachi provides an indispensable perspective and has worked closely on Martin's case since 2015. Conzachi helps us dig deeper into the troubling aspects of the trial - the circumstantial evidence, the alleged motive, and the lack of concrete physical evidence linking Martin to the crime. Moreover, we dig deeper into the defense's claims that other potential suspects were overlooked and that Harmon's alibi wasn't thoroughly examined.

Crystal and Mic secure a rare phone interview from the man himself - Kit Martin, speaking to us from behind bars at the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex. Amid the cold, harsh reality of incarceration, Martin has found solace in the strings of a guitar, teaching GED classes and diving into studying History and Geography.

This gripping, first-hand dialogue provides a candid glimpse into Martin's life in prison and his efforts to preserve his innocence and dignity. But what resonates the most are his heartrending accounts of his family and the proud military lineage that ties him to his father, a fellow veteran. 

Martin shares with listeners what he labels as his irrefutable alibi. But, more intriguingly, he shares the ONE piece of evidence that could shatter the prosecution's case and potentially exonerate him. 

Lastly, Martin takes listeners back to his sentencing hearing, where he was inexplicably denied the opportunity to make a statement - a circumstance that remains a mystery outside the judge's chambers. Martin shares the unspoken words he would have delivered to the court on that fateful day.

Together, we dig deep into the tangled web of accusations that ensnared Martin, the puzzling context of his arrest, and the serious allegations lodged against him by his ex-wife, Joan Harmon. Yet, Harmon's conduct adds another layer of mystery to the case, as she consistently evades involvement in the investigation by invoking her Fifth Amendment rights.

Furthermore, we probe into the curious arrival of Harmon's new boyfriend's law enforcement officer brother at the gruesome crime scene - the first to encounter the charred remains of Pam Phillips and Edward Dansereau. 

In our journey through this intricate maze of allegations, cover-ups, and calls for justice, we honor the memory of those tragically lost. In addition, we recognize the tireless efforts of Martin's supporters, #KitsArmy, who continue to fight for his innocence, clamoring for a thorough investigation to unmask the truth.
