The real killer? He stabbed another woman 90+ times and walked free. This case will ENRAGE you. 🔍⚖️ In this episode of Murder Unscripted, we dive deep into one of Texas' most heartbreaking wrongful conviction cases. In 1981, Carol Elaine Armstrong was found murdered on a rural dirt road in Navarro County, Texas,,,stabbed 45 times and left to die. The investigation led nowhere until two jailhouse informants pointed the finger at Randolph Arledge. But here's what the jury never knew: those informants LIED for plea deals. There was NO physical evidence. And while Randolph sat behind bars for three decades, the alleged REAL killer, David Sims, was out there, free to attack again. 📚 SOURCES: - National Registry of Exonerations - Innocence Project of Texas - Corsicana Daily Sun Archives (1981-1984) - Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Records - CBS News Investigation (2013) #TrueCrime #WrongfulConviction #MurderMystery #ColdCase #InnocenceProject #Texas #Documentary #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderUnscripted #Justice #Exoneration #CriminalJustice #Investigation #UnsolvdMurder #CarolArmstrong #NavarroCounty #Corsicana #JailhouseInformant #DNAEvidence #TrueCrimeDocumentary #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimePodcast #MurderPodcast #JusticeSystem #WrongfullyConvicted","meta_description":"An innocent man lost 30 years to prison.
