About this episode

In this week's investigation, we explore one of the most puzzling and controversial true crime cases involving 11-year-old Jordan Brown and Kenzie Houk. On February 20, 2009, Kenzie Houk was found shot to death in her home, and Jordan, her fiancé’s young son, was quickly arrested and charged with her murder.

But was Jordan truly the killer? As we dive into the details of the case, we’ll examine the evidence, the investigation, and the unanswered questions that have left many wondering whether an innocent child was wrongfully accused, or if something more sinister was at play.

Join us as we break down the mystery surrounding Jordan’s involvement, the legal battles that followed, and the complexities of trying a child as an adult. Was this a case of a tragic mistake or a dark secret hidden by a young boy?
