Summary

In February 1992, the Griffin family was shattered when siblings Tommy Griffin and Connie Branam disappeared just one day apart. What began as a search for a missing brother ended in the discovery of two bodies across two different counties and the arrest of two men the victims trusted, Gary Sutton and Jimmy Dellinger. But with Gary's scheduled execution scheduled for later this year, are we sure they got the wrong men? In her new podcast, Time of Death, journalist Beth Bradin goes deeper into this case than anyone ever has. The weekly releases unveil never before seen information that could lead to Gary Sutton's exoneration. Subscribe now to get caught up and decide for yourself whether justice was served in this case, or if there is more work to do. Listen to Time of Death now! https://open.spotify.com/show/0Kea4ZvLv4FGu0cvmBFEb6 Follow Beth on IG: @bethbraden.journalist
