Interrogation Of Killer Jeremiah Conrad - Traffic Stop Leads to Robbery & Murder

In late 2021, a woman named Brittany was found murdered in her home in a small Midwestern town. The investigation quickly centered on Jeremiah Conrad, a man with a drug history who had been seen driving her car shortly after the killing. But the case was far from straightforward—it was tangled in a world of addiction, rumor, and unreliable witnesses, and Conrad himself insisted he was innocent. This episode of True Crime Stories follows detectives as they try to separate truth from the fog of a drug-addled community, conducting two key interviews: one with Conrad in jail, and another with a woman who spent the day of the murder with him.

The Jailhouse Interview: A Suspect on the Defensive

Detectives travel two hours to interview Jeremiah Conrad, who is already incarcerated on unrelated charges. Conrad is wary and defensive, claiming he has been "locked up for five and a half years for nothing" and that he doesn't trust the system. He acknowledges he was with the victim on the day she died, but only briefly. His story is that he was at her house to trade drugs—she gave him methamphetamine (which he calls "ice") to go trade for heroin, because she was using heroin and he was trying to quit it. He says he left to do the trade, got pulled over and arrested for drug possession, and only learned of her murder days later.
