• My Mother's Lies: Did She Frame an Innocent Man? 15.04.2026 7min

  Jessica Currin was murdered in a quiet Kentucky town in the summer of 2000. Local housewife Susan Galbreath became instrumental in solving the case, working alongside law enforcement to help convict Quincy Cross. Sentenced to life, he remains in prison today. For years, the story seemed settled. Justice had been served. But when Susan's son Ray inherits a box of his mother’s files, everything begins to unravel. Inside are handwritten notes, letters, and photographs—fragments of an investigation that raise more questions than answers. Buried within his mother’s work, Ray believes he’s uncovered a chilling possibility: Did his mom help put an innocent man behind bars? The truth was hidden for decades. Now, it’s finally coming to light. Listen to ⁠My Mother’s Lies⁠, the latest series from The Binge. Get the entire series now, ad-free, by clicking subscribe at the top of the page.
