Buried Truth: The 28-Year Fight to Free Lamar Johnson
Mar 800:33:37Tap to summarizeIn 1994, Lamar Johnson was convicted of a St. Louis murder he did not commit. The case against him was built on fabricated police evidence, a coerced eyewitness identification, and the testimony of a jailhouse informant with everything to gain. Even after the key witness recanted and the real perpetrators confessed, Johnson remained behind bars — caught in a system resistant to admitting its mistakes. For nearly three decades, institutional opposition, including from the Missouri Attorney General's Office, stood in the way of his freedom. It wasn’t until a change in Missouri law empowered local prosecutors to challenge wrongful convictions that Johnson’s case was finally heard. In 2023, after 28 years of incarceration, his conviction was overturned. In this episode of Voices Not Forgotten, we examine the failures that led to Johnson’s wrongful conviction, the long fight for justice, and what his case reveals about power, accountability, and reform in the American legal system. Because some voices refuse to be silenced — even after decades behind bars.

A Missing Man, A System That Looked Away
Mar 100:29:49Tap to summarizeIn 2020, Keyonta Davis, a 21-year-old man with disabilities from Baltimore, Maryland, vanished—and nearly as troubling as his disappearance was how long it took for anyone in authority to take it seriously. While police records list his missing date as May 7, Keyonta’s family says he disappeared in March, shortly after his birthday. As his mother searched for answers, she encountered a system that repeatedly dismissed her concerns, citing Keyonta’s age and independence. Behind the scenes, troubling questions emerged about possible financial exploitation, roommates who may have been stealing his disability benefits, and a timeline that never quite added up. Nearly six years later, Keyonta’s case remains unresolved. In this episode of Voices Not Forgotten, we tell Keyonta’s story, examine the institutional failures that slowed the search for him, and ask the question that still haunts his family: Where is Keyonta Davis—and why did it take so long for anyone to look?
