Calls from the Inside: Calling All Suspects (Series Premiere ID Wed 29 Dec 2021)
Calling All Suspects: Newlyweds Tony Cooper and Melinda Kotkins of Gresham, Oregon, are murdered; jail calls during Tony’s previous incarceration yield many suspects, including men in love with Melinda, and the killer seals his own fate thanks to a jail call to his wife.
It’s an iconic line in any crime story: when a suspect is arrested, they get one call. In reality, once a person enters the criminal justice system, they have multiple opportunities to make calls as they await trial. The vast majority of those calls are recorded. An admission, a threat, a slip of the tongue, a bribe it’s all on tape and the suspect knows it. But this doesn’t always stop them from talking and talking. Calls From the Inside, uses jailhouse phone calls to frame the narrative of murder investigations steeped in mystery.
