Introducing: Everything They Missed Trailer

What began as a routine welfare check became a crime scene no one wanted to look too closely at. In October 2007, Memphis deputies entered an apartment after months of unpaid rent. Inside, they found blood, burned-down candles, air fresheners dripping from the walls, and a towel jammed beneath a bedroom door. A man was dead. Within days, arrests were made. The case was declared closed.  But it wasn’t solved.

For 18 years, unanswered questions were ignored, evidence was overlooked, and a story was quietly buried. Until now. In Everything They Missed, Stephanie Tinsley reopens one of the most poorly investigated murder cases she has ever encountered. Through exclusive interviews, newly uncovered messages, shocking audio, and an ending no one saw coming, this series exposes what happens when authorities choose silence over truth, and how one voice can reopen a case the system wanted forgotten.

This isn’t just a murder investigation. It’s about the cost of looking the other way.  And what happens when someone finally refuses to.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Betrayal fans, I've always admired this show for how
it explores what happens when trust is broken in the
most personal ways. I'm Stephanie Tinsley, host of the new
podcast Everything They Missed, a story about a murder, a betrayal,
and the long road to uncovering the truth. If you're
drawn to cases where everything looks right on the surface

(00:23):
but isn't, you're going to want to hear this well.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Mister Harris had been living there for some time, and
some months had passed where he hadn't paid his rent.
They knock, Nobody answered their concern. The apartment was locked
and the alarm was on, so they go inside realize
something really bad has happened here.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
In October afternoon in two thousand and seven, Memphis deputies
were called to check on a tenant who hadn't paid rent.
What should have been a routine welfare check quickly spiraled
into something far more disturbing.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You have some blood around the house. You have to
shovel paperwork.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
The ac was blasting, dozens of candles were burned to
the wick. Air fresheners dripped from outlets. Then they saw
a towel jammed under the bedroom door.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
So the police go in and what they encounter is
a horrible crime scene.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
A man was dead, and within two days multiple arrests
were made. On paper, it looked like swift justice, but
lingering questions were silenced. Silence that has held for eighteen
years until now. This is one of the most poorly
investigated cases I've ever seen. You for taking seriously the

(01:56):
idea that they're making some of the district to prospect,
we're going to be investigated. You're never gonna believe who
reached out to me last night over X. This message
flips the entire case on its head.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
But she's got the scream.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
So you're gonna sit here and tell us a bull
faceh live you go sit here a line of that
put their face? Is he being honest? Is he really
wanting to help? You know? What? Is he trying to do?
What a hi moto? Well, often you're not gonna do him.
That's going hot, that's going hot like that, stay on
the line.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's what worries me is that I am not ready
for this story to be out in the world, because
once that happens, I lose control of the narrative.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
This is more than an investigation into a murder. It's
about what gets ignored and the choice to look the
other way. Well, just call and tell you you were
right about that. I guess everything. That's this whole thing.
I'm not looking the other way. I'm choosing to tell

(02:57):
it all. I'm Stephanie Ton, and this is everything they missed.
You're asking questions about me for what That shit was
closed years ago.
