New Forensic Files cases

[Hambone2421]

I was just watching the Dorothy Donovan episode of Forensic Files. I was curious if her son, Charles Holden, was still alive as he wasn't interviewed in the segment but was prominently featured in the Unsolved Mysteries episode about his mother? Anyone happen to know?

Woah forensic files must be in repeat mode because this is on now. Anyway it was interesting to see how they pretty much felt Charles had to be guilty and in a way his story was hard to believe. As far as Charles I haven't heard anything and UM wikia doesn't have anything.

They somewhat spoke about him in the past tense as well. Also, one investigator mentioned how Charles was finally exonerated when the real killer was caught. That made me think that authorities still believed Charles had some level of involvement in his mothers murder.

I just watched the one about a CHIP officer named Peyer who used to hunt women down, pull them over, and make them park under this certain overpass where he would harass them. Finally, he "progressed" from mere harassment to murder. He killed a woman and left her body down there. He was basically a serial killer Cop (or at least would have been if he wasn't caught early).

To make matters worse, he was one of those Cops that was on TV representing the highway patrol on Crime stoppers segments, etc. Very interesting story I hadn't heard of before.

Oh, I've seen that one on American Justice and City Confidential.

I remember that episode ("Badge of Betrayal"). Craig Peyer has been denied parole several times, the latest in 2012. The episode acknowledged that, despite maintaining his innocence, he turned down a request to submit his DNA for testing on the evidence against him (a practice that was unavailable at the time of Cara Knott's murder in December 1986 and Peyer's conviction in 1988). That speaks volumes, because it made me wonder what innocent person wrongfully convicted of murder would refuse such an offer.

The Cara Knott case has also been featured in a 2010 episode of Unusual Suspects; the name of the episode is "Betrayal of Trust."
