Summary

After years of unanswered questions, Kendrick Johnson’s family finally convinced federal investigators to reopen the case. But what they uncovered only deepened the mystery. From missing organs and altered surveillance footage to high-profile lawsuits and allegations of FBI corruption, the fight for justice became bigger than anyone imagined. In Part 2, Carter Roy unravels the complex web of investigations, legal battles, and conspiracies surrounding Kendrick’s death — and the Johnson family’s decade-long quest for truth. Even after three autopsies and multiple investigations, the question remains: what really happened to Kendrick Johnson?
