Steve Vogel's Clippings

New DNA tests ordered

December 27, 2018

In my original reporting leading to my book Reasonable Doubt, I encountered three other family murder cases with striking similarities to the Hendricks family murders that occurred within a few months of one another.

Blood spatter evidence

December 24, 2018

Here’s a riveting story from The New York Times Magazine about the role of dubious blood spatter evidence in an Illinois murder case.

December 2, 2018

Get ready for a rather remarkable flashback to the acquittal of David Hendricks on charges that he was responsible for the ax and butcher knife slayings of his wife and three young children. Steve Vogel (whose book about the Hendricks case had been first published 17 months earlier) anchored Bloomington, Ill., radio station WJBC’s coverage.  …
