Episode 1

New Mom's Night Out

Wed, Nov 15, 2023

Mayfield, Kentucky; this installment details the murder of 18-year-old Jessica "Jessie" Melissa Currin on July 29, 2000. The small town's police department was inexperienced and Jessie's murder case went unsolved for many years until Jessie's parents, Joe Currin and Jean Currin, protest the criminal justice system and ask the state of Kentucky to re-investigate their daughter's murder case. The KBI (Kentucky Bureau of Investigation) was able to solve this case which had been previously riddled with critical errors and false accusations. In the end, the killer, Quincy Cross, was convicted of her murder in 2008 and sentenced to life in prison. In addition, both Vinisha Stubblefield and Victoria Caldwell took plea bargains and were convicted of "evidence tampering and abuse of a corpse" and were sentenced to lengths of 7 years (for Vinisha Stubblefield) and 5 years (for Victoria Caldwell). Jessie's parents, Joe and Jean Currin, appear on the show and discuss their years-long struggle to obtain justice for their dearly-missed daughter Jessie.
