Framed - The Kit Martin Story

An introduction to Framed – The Kit Martin Story , a five‑episode true‑crime podcast created by Emilio Corsetti III. This trailer previews the case, the investigation, and the questions at the heart of the series.

This episode lays out the basic facts of the triple homicide: who was killed, where, when, and under what circumstances. It details how key pieces of evidence were discovered not by investigators but by family members and concludes with the headline‑making arrest of Christian “Kit” Martin at the Louisville International Airport. The investigation begins.

Episode two provides background on both the victims and the suspect before examining the prosecution’s theories of motive, means, and opportunity. The episode contrasts these claims with the potential motive and means of an alternative suspect — Martin’s ex‑wife.

How strong was the evidence against Kit? This episode highlights the central problems with the case’s physical evidence, which consisted primarily of a dog tag, a shell casing, and a .22‑caliber bullet. Take a deep dive into a murder investigation.
