Episode Details

The Brendan Banfield double murder trial starts today and we're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to break down the investigation that got us here. This isn't your typical murder case. The prosecution's own digital forensics expert concluded their theory was wrong — and then he was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective who pushed back was reassigned. The original prosecutor was removed after a public intoxication incident. 

And a judge found the circumstances troubling enough to order disclosure of internal communications. Coffindaffer spent her career at the FBI building cases that could survive scrutiny. She's seen what happens when investigators start with a conclusion and work backward. Today she's walking us through the red flags in this case: the 19-month delay before charges, the 8-month gap before key evidence was collected, the 24 different theories that existed until the au pair flipped, and what federal investigators would have done differently. Call in with your questions. Drop your comments. This is the investigation breakdown you need before the testimony begins. Join us live as Coffindaffer explains why the defense is calling this "a theory in search of facts" — and whether the evidence actually supports a double murder conviction.
