The Fall Line: True Crime

For more than two years, we've continued our coverage of the Nashville, Tennessee Jane Doe formerly known as Vandy Jane Doe. In February 2026,  her identification was announced: she was Yadezia Jones, of Nashville, and had finally been reconnected with her identity through FIGG (forensic investigative genetic genealogy). In this episode, we speak with the current and retired detectives assigned to her case and the team of investigative genealogists who ultimately identified Yadezia—and discuss what comes next for the investigation into her death.

For the family of Christian Boyle, the grief of his unsolved murder is compounded by a lack of transparency. While convictions were secured in the Birmingham murder of Terrell Guy Jr.—the crime Christian witnessed—his own case in Blount County has remained at a standstill for eight years.
In the conclusion of this series, we speak with Christian's twin Brandon about his transformation from grieving Marine to self-taught legal advocate. By studying Alabama legal code and filing persistent public records requests, Brandon is demanding proof the investigation is active. We explore the barriers families face when seeking transparency in cold cases and Kerry's ongoing appeal for witnesses to break their silence after eight years.

Eighteen-year-old Christian Boyle was a fixture in his small town of Cleveland, Alabama. A fraternal twin who was "smart as a whip," Christian spent his days working construction and helping his mother, Kerry, care for his quadriplegic father. But when he failed to show up for laundry and missed his usual goodnight text on December 12, 2017, his family knew something was wrong.
In the first episode of this two-part series, we detail the 13-day search across the rural backroads of Blount County and the systemic delays that left a family hunting for answers on their own. We examine the devastating discovery made on Christmas night and the emergence of a shocking lead: Christian had been an unarmed witness to a homicide in Birmingham just 48 hours before he vanished.

But when an eyewitness misidentifies the brothers in a lineup, one twin spends nearly two years in jail — and the wrong one. How could one brother let his twin take the fall? And why would the other sacrifice his freedom for a crime he didn't commit?
