In the Christian & Newsom murders, the disappearance of a young couple escalated into a sprawling investigation that led detectives into conflicting accounts, multiple suspects, and a house on Chipman Street where brutal evidence would surface and change everything authorities thought they knew about that night.
Ep 1:
The Last Drive Home
A routine Saturday night turns deadly when a couple, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, are abducted, leading investigators from Washington Ridge to Chipman Street and a rail yard crime scene, where brutal evidence and a single fingerprint begin to expose what really happened.
Ep 2:
The House on Chipman Street
Inside 2316 Chipman Street, investigators uncover brutal evidence tied to Channon Christian’s death as forensic findings, witness encounters, and a widening manhunt expose what happened inside the house and lead to multiple arrests across Tennessee and Kentucky.
Ep 3:
The Missing Fifth Shadow
As the case moves through court, Eric Boyd’s role, Judge Baumgartner’s troubled trial, and years of appeals and controversy reshape the aftermath, until a late statement years later forces a final reconsideration of what happened.
Ep 4:
12 Years to Judgment
After more than a decade, Eric Boyd’s trial forces the case back into a Knoxville courtroom, where prosecutors present their case, the defense fights to dismantle it, key testimony resurfaces, and a jury ultimately delivers a verdict that defines his fate and life behind bars.

Level 5 · 2 mo agoDaphne Sutton walked into that house, stood a few feet from Channon in the bathroom, got blocked by Davidson, accepted 'gifts' that weren't his to give, and left without knowing any of it. That detail is haunting.
