Summary

2019 - Asheboro, North Carolina. (part one) When police responded to a wellness check at Brandon Embry's apartment, they were not expecting what they saw inside. The apartment was a complete disaster: trash and belongings strewn about, water and blood everywhere, and the 33-year-old veteran lying on the floor, nude and unconscious. His entire body was bruised and beaten. He made it to the hospital before he passed away. The police ultimately closed this case: they say it was an accident and his injuries were self-inflicted. But the details, crime scene, and circumstances simply don't add up, and his mother, Sarah, has devoted her life to finding the answers to what happened to her son. For this episode of Murder, She Told, we go "away" to North Carolina for a story that has a surprising connection to New England. This is part one of the case of Brandon Embry.
