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.

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
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..
Wow! Just finished watching Dateline. John basically got away with murder. Smh! RIP Katelyn
That dude looks just like Matt Walsh!
I bet she found out about his double life and wanted out. IYKYK
12 years, what were the cops doing?
How do murderers get bonds but not drug offenders I just don’t get the system
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.
It sounds like "If I can't have you then no one will have you" scenario.
how the F…k did he find 1 million dollars ? seriously ..that is crazy
🧡 Justice for Katelyn
Great interview 👍
Isn't that the same guy who murdered Yingying, the international student?
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.
He'd make a great actor 🎬
Yeah, I don't buy it. I think he's innocent. What about the second man? They barely covered it…
Some people are attracted to losers.
He want to touch her bugger knot, she say no, now she in heaven
Don't stay with men who will put you in a body bag with a toe tag.💯
She was too pretty for phatso
Even the 911 operator didnt believe him 😂
Angenette Levy is so great at her job!! She never makes it about herself – so respectful!
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.
Judging by the husband’s voice, it sounds like he plays on the down low.
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.
I went to school with Katelyn. We ALL know he did it. It's a crime he was able to live his life out of jail for so long. Hopefully justice gets served.
GOD BLESS YOU DAVE 🙏🙏🙏
Peter Hayett knew it years ago😀. But of course the police needs physical evidamce.
I call bs
They always tend to over share on the 911 call…
