‘The Demon Within’: Disturbing Murder of College Student Katelyn Markham

‘The Demon Within’: Disturbing Murder of College Student Katelyn Markham

Katelyn Markham was a college student just weeks away from finishing her graphic arts degree in Ohio when she went missing in 2011. Two years later, her body was found badly decomposed in a wooded area across state lines in Indiana. The case went cold until March 2023 when authorities arrested Markham’s then-fiancé, 34-year-old John Carter for her murder. Investigators discovered disturbing writings from Carter, showing his struggle with “the demon within,” between loving Markham and killing her. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy breaks down the horrifying and tragic case with Markham’s father, Dave Markham, and Ohio-based criminal defense attorney James Bogen.

  1. Always been interested in this case she lived about 30 minutes from where I do and her remains were found 5 minutes from my parents old house about 15 minutes from where I live now suspected it was her fiance all along I think her dad did too and likely the police there was a lot of circumstantial evidence and possible motive yet he walks free for a decade because they didn’t have the evidence im glad he’s finally been exposed but his punishment is a gross miscarriage of justice he’s basically getting a slap on the wrist for killing and putting her in trash bags and tossed them in a dump site in a rural area and wasn’t found until she was skeletonized his parents owned property not far from that site

  2. It was obvious to my wife and I that John Carter was a killer. To provide all of that information on a 911 call like very suspicious; then the call to her dad telling him that Katelyn was missing without first asking her dad; ‘have you seen Katelyn?’ What a bad piece of business he is..

  3. The fact that he tried to point out possible suspects "questionable people" in his phone call shows he did it. Getting in early to look innocent like other ones.

  4. 2:03 It would be weird for John to think Katelyn wasn't safe after she didn't answer a few calls from him. Maybe she overslept?
    He clearly didn't realize how guilty this call made him look.

  5. Together for six years and engaged for one? What's with that? This sounds like the usual Indiana tragic crime. More ghosts in Indiana . Crazy it must be the water or the air.

  6. The fact that he acted as if he was worried and really cared when in all reality he wanted to block her from her forward movement so much that he did the unthinkable. Anything you do in the dark you will be judged for. It may take time, but you will always reap what you sow into this earth. May judgment be bestowed upon him to the fullest extent.
