Hi everyone, I just had an interesting "FYI" to share. Everyone remember Martin Yantz, the then-journalist featured in the Circleville segment? Well the other night I watching a program called Murder She Solved (it was on Oprah's network) and the case they were featuring was about the wrongful murder conviction of Clarence Elkins (which was an interesting case, I'd seen it profiled before on many other shows). Clarence's wife worked endlessly to prove that Clarence was innocent, including hiring a private investigator....named Martin Yantz! He was interviewed and part of the program, and he was pretty instrumental in helping prove Clarence was innocent, it was pretty cool. Anyway, I just had to share!

Yes, I saw a Forensic Files episode on that case and he was interviewed on there as well! I knew I had seen him somewhere on UM, and I had to think about it for a bit before I remembered it was the Circleville Writer segment--it was remembering his voice that did it for me. I love it when an interviewee from UM makes it onto another show. Most of them seem to be medical examiners or a forensic work type, it seems: Dr. Isidore Mihalakis, Herb MacDonell, and Dr. Vincent Di Maio have all been on UM and I see them regularly on other true crime shows.

Actually a fun tidbit, I can't 100% confirm it, but I believe he was posting in the Circleville thread. I had actually looked him up on google and emailed him through his firm. We exchanged emails about Circleville and he even sent me a few articles he wrote that I shared with a few people on here. A totally nice man.

Martin Yant is actually his name and he is a rather famous investigative journalist and author of the book "Presumed Guilty" which highlights cases of wrongful conviction. Yant actually appeared on several um segments including Paul Ferrell.
