On December 9th, 2001 in Durham, North Carolina, Kathleen Peterson died. According to the 911 call, she was found by her husband Michael Peterson at the bottom of a staircase in their home. He was soon charged with first-degree murder, that it had not been a fall, but he had in fact beaten her to death. He was found guilty at trial, and sentenced to life in prison. The most intriguing theory in this case: In 2009, a second look at the evidence discovered that Kathleen had been found with feathers in her hands and hair, while the lacerations on her head appeared as if they could’ve been inflicted by an owl’s talons. Join us as we discuss was it Michael himself, Kathleen falling down the stairs, or a barn owl that killed her.
