Snow Files

We’re thrilled to share that Jamie Snow’s case will be featured on ABC’s Nightline on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 . This powerful national broadcast will shine a spotlight on the injustice that’s kept Jamie in prison for nearly 25 years — a conviction based on recanted informant testimony, inconsistent eyewitness accounts, and no physical evidence. Jamie Snow’s wrongful conviction will be featured on AB...

Jamie really enjoyed participating in this great ZOOM discussion Saturday afternoon with family and supporters. We talked about alternative suspects, Jamie's case updates, 8000 missing documents, and Ray - who will now forever be known as the FOIA sensei. We hope you enjoy our first Snow & Tell Zoom as much as we did and we want to thank everyone for joining us! We appreciate all of you more t...

In 1992, just 11 months after the murder of young Clark Gas Station attendant Bill Little, Kroger Station attendant Derek Brooks was shot in the chest during an armed robbery gone wrong, just 2.6 miles away. Like with Bill, the robber attempted to kill him with two shots to the chest, but the gun jammed. A petty sum of cash was stolen and the assailant fled in a maroon colored coupe, with a female...

Jamie was blown away by his Christmas present this year. Six musicians from 6 completely different genres were commissioned to write, compose, and record a song about Jamie. The only information they received was information about Jamie and his case, and they were asked to write a song about whatever aspect or view point resonated with them - whether it was from Jamie's point of view, a supporter'...

Join co-hosts Bruce, Lesley, Tam and Ray as they discuss the "Jeff's" in depth. An extra long episode for you listening pleasure. We also start with Bruce and Ray's thoughts on the Bible Story episode because they were unable to join us on the pop up episode. Lot's of interesting theories and laughs in this one! In August of 1991, just five months after the murder of young gas station attendant Bi...

In August of 1991, just five months after the murder of young gas station attendant Bill Little, a string of other gas station robberies plagued Bloomington. Jeff Miller and Jeff Durbin colluded to rob gas stations together with a gun, for petty sums of cash. Durbin was the getaway driver, and planned to use doctored cab driver’s log sheets to evade detection. Miller chose an Adam’s Family Hallowe...

Bruce, Tam and Lesley discuss alternative suspect Isaac "Ike" Gaston. Isaac “Ike” Gaston was a dead ringer for Gutierrez’s composite, and he lived within a mile of the crime. He also had a long criminal history spanning some 40 years which included violence - such as assault, burglary, robbery, and sexual misconduct with a minor. Even while Gaston was awaiting sentencing for another charge in coun...

In this final season of Snow Files, we present alternative suspects, hearings on motions that were not previously discussed, and others who were wrongfully convicted in McLean County by the same state's attorney's office.

Joe is currently also serving a life without parole sentence in Stateville, and is the co-founder of Parole Illinois . His message outlines the issue in a cohesive way, and also offers way you c...

There were only two items that we know for certain left by the killer of Bill Little – and that’s the two bullets recovered from his body. Jamie’s attorneys filed the first ballistics motion over 10 years ago, and yet he’s still fighting for testing. In this episode, we review a case very similar to Jamie’s in which bullets retrieved from a victim were matched to a weapon as early as 1997. We expl...

On September 8, 2021, the Honorable Ramon Escapa, in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit County of McLean County, ruled in favor of Jamie Snow, for the first time in 22 years. Jamie’s lawyers from the Exonoration Project argued fervently, that the contents of 8000 missing discovery documents would weigh heavily upon his proof of innocence, and that by law, his defense is entitled to them. Judge Escapa p...

Wow! In five short pages, Jamie Snow's new attorney, Lauren Myerscough-Mueller, lays out every single reason why not only Jamie, but also she - as Jamie's attorney - should get a copy of the discovery. Every legal advocate could learn a thing or two from Lauren's response to the state concerning Jamie's motion for discovery. Remember, neither he, nor she, has EVER seen these documents. She get's i...

McLean County turned over less than 900 pages before the trial, and again in 2007 when Jamie went pro se. Now we know there are nearly 8000 pages that have never been turned over to Jamie. Yet, the state continues to fight against Jamie and his attorneys having access to the very documents that the state has had access to all along. Join us as we discuss the state’s response to the motion for disc...

Andy, a juror from Susan Claycomb’s trial, joins Tam and Ray for an in-depth interview about deliberations from her trial. Jamie’s co-defendant, Susan Claycomb was found not guilty at her trial, which was held first, and 90% of the trial was focused on evidence against Jamie. They had to find Jamie guilty of murder in order to find Susan guilty of being the driver. Andy takes us behind the scenes...

During trial, Jamie was saddled with an attorney who had suffered a stroke, and his co-counsel who was apparently preparing for Jamie’s case at the local bar. In 2007 Jamie stood alone, once again, as he struggled with another appointed attorney who refused to raise issues that Jamie felt were critical to his defense. In Episode 33, we analyze the issues that led to the recent motion for discovery...

In 2011, supporters of Jamie Snow's innocence unknowingly embarked on what would turn out to be a 10 year fight with the Bloomington Police Department for Jamie Snow's case file, ultimately resulting a law suit against the City of Bloomington. In this episode, we correlate the long fight to get the information that was withheld from Jamie prior to trial with the recent motion for discovery. It ser...

Patrick Pursley was convicted in 1994 of murder in Rockford, Illinois. He fought for 27 years behind the walls of Stateville to prove his innocence. He knew the linchpin in his case was the bullets retrieved from the crime scene. He also knew he didn’t commit the murder, so without a doubt the gun retrieved from his girlfriend’s home did not match the bullets and casings retrieved from the crime s...
