Documented 187

Documented 187

Every case leaves a trail—documents, whispers, questions that never made the evening news. Documented 187 is where those pieces get picked up and examined under a sharper light. I’m Ayana Noir. I don’t just retell true crime stories—I sift through the evidence, trace the timelines, and ask the questions that don’t go away. Some answers hide in plain sight, others wait in the shadows. This isn’t crime for shock value. It’s crime unraveled—layer by layer—until the truth stares back.

A family slaughtered. A decorated doctor whose story never lined up. Decades of courtroom battles fought under a microscope. In this episode of Documented 187, Ayana Noir takes you into the case of Jeffrey MacDonald — the GreenBeret surgeon who insisted on his innocence even as the evidence whispered otherwise.

This is the story of Bree Kuhn, a Navy Chief, and Collin Turner, a retired Marine. A case that asks: does ‘Once a Chief, always a Chief’ still hold true when the anchors rest on someone convicted of murder?

Slide into the shadows.
