A KILLER'S MISTAKE

A KILLER'S MISTAKE

Kent McGowen was obsessed with the idea of being a ‘Superman Cop'. He was so obsessed that he was willing to go against official procedures and manipulate evidence in order to set up a scenario involving one arrest, and another arrest warrant for 42-year old mother Susan Diane Harrison - who had previously complained about him. McGowen then willingly executed the arrest warrant himself, all through unlawful means. Susan was killed just 6 seconds after McGowen forcefully entered her home. To this day the convicted murderer insists on his innocence - that he asked Susan to lower her gun and acted in self-defence after a stand-off. But nothing adds up. The autopsy acts as a roadmap to the truth.
