Welcome to the first episode of Crime House's latest four-part limited series: Spooky Season. In the winter of 1803, the village of Hammersmith was convinced a ghost was stalking its darkened lanes... and armed men took to the streets to stop it. On January 3rd, 1804, excise officer Francis Smith shot and killed Thomas Millwood, an innocent plasterer whose white work clothes made him look exactly like the phantom the village feared. The case landed in London's Old Bailey with a question English law struggled to answer for the next two centuries: can a sincere but deadly mistake constitute murder?

In the gripping conclusion of today's Justice Served series, Carter Roy follows the intense investigation that led authorities from scattered surveillance footage and a single DNA trace on a knife sheath to an unexpected suspect: criminology PhD student Bryan Kohberger. Carter breaks down how digital forensics, cell-phone data, and genetic genealogy converged to identify the killer... and how families, investigators, and an entire community sought justice in the aftermath. Even with a guilty plea and multiple life sentences, unanswered questions remain about motive, intent, and the chilling months Kohberger spent stalking the victims. This episode examines the pursuit of closure when the truth may never fully come.
