The Murder Sheet is a weekly true crime podcast hosted by journalist Áine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee.
We take a journalistic approach to covering true crime. We have broken national news on major stories. We have covered cases like the Delphi murders, the Burger Chef murders, the Austin yogurt shop murders, the donut shop murders, Bryan Kohberger and the University of Idaho murders, Rex Heuermann and the Long Island Serial Killer case, the murder of Scott Macklem by Temujin Kensu, the I-70 Killer, the disappearance of Asha Degree, the Tylenol murders, the Zodiac murders, and more.
We also cover plenty of other subjects, including high-profile murders, cold cases, legal topics within the criminal justice system, restaurant slayings, historical crimes, and wide-ranging interviews with authors and experts.
If you're looking for in-depth coverage of both well-known and obscure cases, smart legal analysis, and thoughtful interviews, then this is the true crime podcast for you. The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.
In 1991, a young college student named Anita Byington went out with friends in Austin, Texas. The following morning, she was found brutally murdered.
A man named Allen Andre Causey was tried and convicted of the murder in 1992. His confession to police was a major piece of evidence against him.
Now, the Innocence Project of Texas says Causey is a factually innocent man. The Travis County Prosecutor's Office agreed with this, although members of Anita Byington's family say that they still believe the evidence against Causey points to innocence. Causey was paroled in 2022, but he could soon receive an exoneration as well.
In this episode, we will hear from Causey's Innocence Project of Texas team: executive director Mike Ware, senior staff attorney Jessi Freud, staff attorney Chase Baumgartner, and attorney Amber Vasquez. They will explain why they believe the evidence strongly points to Causey's innocence, and who they think really killed Anita.
