Ep 3. Honey, That's A Dangerous Man

In Unlocking the Truth season 1 episode 3, titled "Honey, That's A Dangerous Man," the show investigates the case of a man named Christopher Waide, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison at the age of 19.

Waide's case revolves around the murder of a 19-year-old woman named Lea Porter in his hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado. Waide met Porter at a party and they had consensual sex that night. However, when Porter's body was found the next morning, she had been strangled and stabbed multiple times.

Although Waide had an alibi and there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime, the jury found him guilty based on the testimony of his former girlfriend, who claimed that he had confessed to the murder.

Unlocking the Truth delves into the details of the investigation and trial, talking to witnesses, friends, and family members of both the victim and Waide. They also hire a private investigator to follow up on leads that were never pursued by the police.

The show challenges the reliability of the evidence presented at trial, including the credibility of Waide's former girlfriend as a witness. They also question the police work and forensic evidence, which they argue were insufficient to convict Waide beyond a reasonable doubt.

As the investigation unfolds, viewers are left wondering whether Christopher Waide was wrongly convicted or if he is truly guilty of the heinous crime. The episode provides a thought-provoking look into the complexities of the criminal justice system and the impact that a wrongful conviction can have on a person's life.
