With all the physical evidence lost and little investigation into Billie’s case, we look to Billie’s body for clues about what happened the night she was shot.
The 1991 autopsy of Billie Jean Letterman was performed by a controversial medical examiner named Dr. Fahmy Malak, who resigned amid accusations that he botched several autopsies. We took the autopsy results to Dr. Charles Kokes, the new chief medical examiner for the state of Arkansas after Malak. Would he stand by the conclusions drawn by his controversial predecessor?
We also spoke with Jen Bucholtz to get her insight on Billie’s case. She’s a professor of forensics and a private investigator.
