On December 29, 1991, Phoenix bar manager Kim Ancona was found brutally murdered inside the CBS Lounge.

The crime scene seemed packed with evidence.

Fingerprints.

Hair.

DNA.

A distinctive bite mark.

Investigators believed the bite mark identified the killer, and Ray Krone—a local mail carrier with no criminal history—was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death.

But years later, advances in DNA testing revealed a shocking truth.

The physical evidence never pointed to Ray.

Instead, it identified another man living just blocks from the crime scene.

In this episode of The Murder Mind: Crime Traveler, retired Atlanta homicide detective Vince Velazquez examines one of America's most significant wrongful conviction cases and explains how investigators became fixated on one piece of forensic evidence while overlooking the clues that ultimately solved the murder.
