  • Episode 8: Terrifying Bureaucratic Incompetence - Caught Red-Handed, Part 2
    May 30 2025

    In this gripping episode, with Dr. Katie Spirko under a sequestration order barring her from discussing the case, co-host Dana McLendon takes you on a solo journey through the shocking second half of Dylan Adams' coerced and verifiably false confession. Even the TBI admits Dylan's account of events cannot be true. As tensions rise, delve into the intense (and intensely ridiculous) interrogation led by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation special agent Jeff Jackson, with Brent Booth present in the room. Dana McLendon unpacks the unsettling dynamics of the interrogation, highlighting the alarming bureaucratic incompetence that lead to a clearly forced and coached confession riddled with inconsistencies, investigator-initiated details, and pressure to adopt THEIR narrative of the crime. Join us as we expose the chilling realities of this fatally flawed investigation.
