Elderly Woman With A Bloody Crime Scene

What first appeared to be a grisly homicide turned out to be a tragic accident, unraveled not by detectives, but by the keen eye of forensic pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr, host of the compelling true-crime podcast Kohroner Chronicles.

In his latest episode, Dr. Kohr walks listeners through a haunting case from his decades-long career in forensic medicine. The victim: an elderly woman in her 80s, found naked and bloodied on her bedroom floor with a phone receiver off the hook and blood smeared across its handle. With signs pointing to violence and blood in multiple rooms, law enforcement initially feared the worst. But as Dr. Kohr explains, “Not everything is what it first appears to be.”
