Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Today's episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace was broadcast before the body of Princeton University student Misrach Ewunetie was found. The  Mercer County Prosecutor's Office says a facilities employee discovered Ewunetie's body Thursday afternoon, behind some tennis courts. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and manner of death. Officials say there are no obvious signs of injury.    Our condolences to the family.  Princeton University junior Misrach Ewunetie was last seen in her dorm, but her cellphone pinged near an off-campus housing complex two days after she disappeared. Authorities have searched the outside areas of the complex multiple times. Officers could not go inside homes without a warrant but residents did talk with some people who lived in the area. Misrach's brother, Universe Ewunetie, told The Sun that his sister missed an important meeting the day after she disappeared. Misrach is 5-foot-4 and about 130 pounds with brown eyes, and black hair. She was valedictorian of her high school class and earned a full scholarship to Princeton.

Just one day after Keaira Hudson's estranged husband was released from jail on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, 45-year-old Adam Bennefield shot her dead.  Just days before her death Hudson posted a video of herself being brutally beaten by  Bennefield, on Facebook. As Hudson left to take her children to school just around the corner, she put on a bulletproof vest, but that would not protect her from multiple shots. Bennefield reportedly smashed into the front of Hudson's vehicle, pulled a shotgun, and opened fire with children in the car.   Joining Nancy Grace Today: Jessica Garth - Chief, Special Victims & Family Violence Unit, State's Attorney's Office, Prince George's County, MD Dr. Carolyn West Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Washington Tacoma, Award-winning author: " Violence in the Lives of Black Women: Battered, Black, and Blue", Filmmaker: “Let Me Tell Ya’ll ‘Bout Black Chicks: Images of Black Women in Pornography;" DrCarolynWest.com Julie Gates - Major Law Enforcement Crime Scene Investigator,  Forensic Science Program Coordinator/Instructor, Southern Crescent Technical College, Dr. Tim Gallagher - Medical Examiner State of Florida PathcareMed.com, Lecturer: University of Florida Medical School Forensic Medicine, Founder/Host: International Forensic Medicine Death Investigation Conference  Kristy Mazurek - Emmy Award-winning Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Attorneys for disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh are pointing the finger at Murdaugh's cousin Curtis "Eddie" Smith. In a new court filing, the lawyers say that Smith, who reportedly failed a polygraph, should have been more rigorously investigated as a prime suspect by police. During a polygraph five months ago,  Smith was asked three times about his involvement in the shootings that killed Maggie and Paul Smith. Smith replied, no, to those questions, meaning he was not involved.  Police sources say Smith's answers indicate an attempt at deception. He lied. Smith has said he was “nowhere near” the property when the shootings occurred.        Joining Nancy Grace Today: Jessica Garth - Chief, Special Victims & Family Violence Unit, State's Attorney's Office, Prince George's County, MD Dr. Shari Schwartz - Forensic Psychologist (specializing in Capital Mitigation and Victim Advocacy), PantherMitigation.com, Twitter: @TrialDoc, Author: "Criminal Behavior" and "Where Law and Psychology Intersect: Issues in Legal Psychology" Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan" Dr. Michelle DuPre - Former Forensic Pathologist, Medical Examiner and Detective: Lexington County Sheriff's Department, Author: "Homicide Investigation Field Guide" & "Investigating Child Abuse Field Guide", Forensic Consultant, DMichelleDupreMD.com  Chris Byers - Former Police Chief Johns Creek Georgia,  25 years as Police Officer, Private Investigator and Polygraph Examiner,   www.chrisbyersinvestigationsandpolygraph.com   Anne Emerson - Senior Investigative Reporter, WCIV ABC News 4 (Charleston, SC), Host of Award-Winning Podcast: "Unsolved South Carolina: The Murdaugh Murders, Money and Mystery, Twitter: @AnneTEmerson   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
