·1 hr 9 min·4 clips

Kenny blurts, “The only thing you guys are ever going to believe me saying is that I chopped her up.”

1. True Crime Podcast 2025 covers the Kenneth Jones case, centered on Stephanie’s disappearance from an Idaho Falls duplex and the later police interrogation of Kenny Jones. 2. The episode is narrated by an unnamed host and features detectives, a polygraph examiner, and later Detective Jessica Marley, whose roles matter because they frame the evidence against Kenny. 3. The episode asks whether Kenny’s alibi, his polygraph, and the physical evidence can explain what happened to Stephanie. 4. Stephanie lived in the duplex with Michael, their four-month-old daughter, Kenny, and Lynette, and Michael left for work at 6:45 a.m. on Monday, August 20th. 5. Lynette called Michael around 12:30 p.m. to say Stephanie was missing and the baby had been left alone, and Michael later contacted police. 6. Investigators interviewed Kenny three days after the disappearance, because he was the last person who reportedly saw Stephanie. 7. Kenny said Stephanie left with the baby, that his mother arrived, and that he then left for work at Cardone’s Car Wash before visiting Colby’s house. 8. The detective challenged Kenny’s claim that he worked that Monday, saying the time clock did not match his story and that coworkers Gary and Jesus could not confirm it. 9. Kenny also gave an explanation for the scratches on his neck, saying he hit a tree limb at Cardone’s parking lot, while the narrator described the marks as vertical and suspicious. 10. The interview moved into a polygraph exam, and the examiner explained the pre-test, end test, post-test structure and described Kenny as a “textbook responder.” 11. The episode repeatedly pauses to explain deception cues such as exclusion qualifiers, qualifying statements, mismatching illustrators, and romancer behavior. 12. During the test, Kenny is told that co-workers and friends have contradicted his alibi, and the narrator says his body language begins to show anxiety. 13. Kenny reacts by insisting, “I didn’t touch her,” while the detective presses him on why he is lying about the morning timeline. 14. The narration says detectives had already found positive luminol reactions in the bathroom around the vanity, sink, cabinet handles, toilet handle, bathtub drain, and door handle. 15. The episode also says police found reddish-brown hair in Kenny’s car trunk, black electrical tape, dust on the exterior, wheatgrass under the car, and positive blood reactions on jumper cables and a tow chain. 16. Later, the episode reports a jailhouse informant named Eddie Ariello who said Kenny allegedly confessed and claimed he had Stephanie “all to myself now.” 17. The tone is procedural and analytical, with long stretches of interrogation playback and narrator commentary on polygraph technique and nonverbal behavior. 18. The format mixes interview audio, forensic explanation, and case chronology, and it spends time on how detectives interpret specific words and gestures. 19. Listeners who like police interrogations, polygraph analysis, and cold-case timelines would likely follow this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a short, spoiler-light overview of a solved murder case may skip it.
