Update: On February 28, Ivan Cantu was executed by lethal injection in Huntsville. Ahead of his execution, the Cousins by Blood podcast investigation helped draw in support for Cantu from high profile figures like Kim Kardashian and Martin Sheen. The original foreperson of the jury came forward to say he felt “fooled” by the trial.
In more than 50 episodes, he shared in-depth conversations with witnesses and new analyses of the forensic evidence. He found evidence that he says shows Cantu didn’t do any of what the state accused him of and that “there is a strong possibility was set up.” After years of working in true-crime television, Duff began to feel held back and increasingly troubled by news stories about exonerations.“Looking back on it, it’s hard for most people in general, and certainly most TV network executives, to wrap their head around the fact that there may be reasonable doubt,” Duff told theHe realized that as a journalist, he could do little to affect change in the case if it turned out that Cantu was innocent.
And he always knew that while Cantu’s innocence seemed possible, so did his potential guilt. “My goal is just to find the truth, wherever it leads. And it might lead right back to Ivan,” he said. Shortly after speaking with the new tenant of Boettcher’s former apartment, Duff tracked down the star witness. In episode 15 of the podcast, he aired their conversation.
