Advertise on podcast: Devil in the Ditch

A man goes missing. Fifteen months later, his family finds a fresh concrete slab poured in his backyard. What's buried underneath changes everything. Five years ago, journalist Justine van der Leun started sending letters to Kwaneta Harris, a convicted murderer in a Texas prison. She was also a gifted writer, "Mama Detroit" to the women around her. She swore the story wasn’t what it seemed. So Justine went digging. What she found was a decade-long relationship curdled, a body under a concrete slab, and a trail of stolen identities and lies. Who is Kwaneta Harris?

The family gathers for Charlotte’s funeral. But as she’s put to rest, one local rumor about Presh’s murder comes back to life.

The idea that the court of public opinion can be more accurate than the actual courts isn’t new. But it’s still pretty jarring to hear it from a judge. Is acting odd the same as acting guilty?

For decades, gossip about Presh’s murder has centered on her nephew. Larrison returns to Greenville for his side of the story. And she finds new questions: Could a sibling rivalry nearly a hundred years old have anything to do with the killing?

Police investigating Presh’s murder interviewed lots of potential witnesses. Twenty years later, can Larrison track any of them down? And if she does, will they talk?

People in the Mississippi Delta take their wedding traditions very seriously. But are they serious enough to be a motive for murder?

Families in the Mississippi Delta know to hide the dirty laundry. To protect their own. Of course, Campbell’s family took a decidedly different route. And she discovers she might be doing the same.

The investigation into Presh’s murder had more resources than most. So why was no one ever arrested? Larrison dives into what went wrong and discusses the clue that one detective swears is the key to solving the crime.

It’s been nearly 20 years since host Larrison Campbell’s 85-year-old grandmother, Presh, was murdered. Detectives say it was probably someone who knew Presh. But in a small Mississippi town, that doesn't exactly narrow it down. Campbell starts at the scene of the crime. Unlock all episodes of Witnessed, ad-free right now by subscribing to The Binge.
