Forensic Files - Season 4, Episode 8 - Body of Evidence - Full Episode 

I love how arbitrary polygraphs are in determining guilt. It's literally just an indication of self confidence.

Neighbors: hi! 👋🏻👋🏻 Karla: hi 😒 Me: they did it 😟

You gotta love these older Forensic Files cases. So nostalgic. They pretty much nailed who did it, even back then! Sure it took longer, but they still got the perp!

John Prante and Karla Brown both went to my high school years before I did but that is my hometown. When John was released he lived in the town over and went to my church… very creepy guy. He passed July 7.2023. May she rest in peace

He was paroled in 2019. Why give 75 year sentence if you're going to let killers out?

Poor Karla. Rest In Peace.

John Prante, 72 was released from prison in 2019. As of 2022, he has been charged with DUI.

Sometimes the FBI profile analysis is amazing. Thank goodness for science and good police work

Love this show, but they have proven bite marks are not like fingerprints, since this was filmed many convictions have been overturned.

Here to fall asleep. Good night everyone! Sleep well.

This is really sad... She was beautiful... And was trying to be happy in her new home... Rih😢 so sorry this happened to u

forensic files is my fav crime show. I love the format of the videos and the explanation at the end is exciting

Police got to be very skeptical about alibis. And double check everything. I hope the investigators everywhere are learning from these old cases

Wow. John Prante is lowest of the low. That is so scary to think he just rang her doorbell and walked in! This is why a big dog would be nice! Her poor family! This case is already 30+ Years old!!

Long live (the legacy of) narrator Peter Thomas! ❤

The poor sister who wants the killer to know how much her sister is loved and missed. Good people can’t relate to how terrible evil people are. This devil don’t give a shitt

Thank the detectives who never gave up!

ugh... i have always been super creeped out by how sadistic a killer can be...animalistic... just imagine someone not only killing a person but biting them in the process...its extremely disturbing

how df do they miss a bite mark on her SHOULDER?

Karla was directly related to me. Had no idea until my grandma brought it up in conversation an hour ago.

Wooow he even predicted the suspect drives a red VW That's sooo fascinating 😮

That tapestry was straight savage !

For some reason, he's been released! He's trying to "clear his name" but he can't. I don't know what possessed authorities to let this menace out in society.

If this incident happen in my country,it probably remain unsolved to this date.... Hats off for this brilliant forensic work

Can't sleep without listening to forensic files

That profiler was so spot on! The VW, the type of person, etc. I presume he visited the crime scene. Maybe he saw him sitting out there? He said they had interviewed him and he passed the lie detector test.

Appeals court says man can challenge bite mark evidence in 1978 Wood River murder. John N. Prante, now 71, was released from prison on parole in 2019 after serving more than 36 years of his 75-year sentence. But a lawyer for Prante, Lindsay Hagy of the Exoneration Project, said Tuesday that his release is not stopping him from continuing with his appeal.

The first medical examiner did a poor job performing the autopsy of Karla Brown. He didn’t open the cranium to observe if a blow was given to the victim, he didn’t see the bite mark…..jeez, you wonder now if these doctors are up-to-date with medical trainings. That being said, I like this lady who performed a second autopsy on Karla’s body, she is good as I have seen her in other episodes, she is sharp. But Karla should have never, ever opened that door, she should have asked before opening the door and then take it from there. People don’t learn that once you open the door, you are at the mercy of whoever is in front of you to harm you. I personally do not open my doors, I always look first and then I ask……and if the person doesn’t want to leave, or give me an answer that I find suspicious, I call the police. Even if it is a cop who is knocking at my door, I still will not open the door, and I will tell him or her that I didn’t call the police…..and depending on the answer I get, I will proceed to call the police department to ask them if they sent an officer to my home. There are a lot of crazy people out there impersonating police officers and one has to be very careful and attentive so nothing can happen to you. This is my advice to anyone. Rest in Peace always Karla 🙏💐

What kind of medical examiner doesn't check out the head????

I am addicted to this show🙌

Lust. Wanting, then taking something that doesn’t belong to you.

She’s so beautiful. It’s so scary that things like this can happen

Love the old forensic files!

These type crimes are almost always made by these cruddy men who can't get a woman to even look their way and done even try

Prante was released way earlier than he should have been. He was sentenced to 75 years. Karla was young and beautiful and was murdered brutally by this evil monster just because he made a sexual advance which she rejected. Great forensic work. The two odentologists evidence solved this case. Dr. Cambell discovered the bite mark on karlas shoulder. Dr. Levine matched the bite mark to john prante. Justice was not served. I was shocked by his early release. Rest in peace karla.

Nightmare fuel before bed

How did police miss the bite mark and the hairs on the tray?!!

Prayers for ALL

Thats bullshit , they allmost sent a man to the electric chair on a episode called they called him the snaggletooth killer and he was innocent, they said that bite marks Are not as good as a fingerprint.

Watch these episodes twice can't watch it three times get new episode can come again

Orange/red Volkswagen…..in other words…you’re looking for a hippie

I am glad that the investigators caught him and he got 75 years. Though life would have been better.

They could have solved it that day, police couldn’t be bothered

He was released after serving 38 years. In 2022, he was sentenced for DUI.

John Prante was paroled in 2019 and was arrested again in 2022 for a DUI

So sad how many older and young women were killed in the 70s .

I want to be a behavioral analyst in the future.

You would think that during her autopsy they would have seen the bite mark on her shoulder unless it was so small that only the photo imaging picked it up..?

Bite marks? What bite marks? Her head area wasn't examined? Sloppy work.

All relationships are not perfect.

What a STRANGE motive. Poor young lady!

This is when the narrator was relatively young😇 great stuff man!

This episode makes me realize there’s probably many innocent people in jail due to so much being overlooked

I didn't see a great deal of forensic evidence that was tied Pratt. Maybe ive forgotten already but it seemed it was only the bite mark impression. Were his fingerprints found anywhere? Any other actual proof? He matched the profile but thats a guide, not evidence. I just dont get why he would spend time cleaning and staging and not S.A. her. To me, that is something a partner does. I really wonder if they got it right.

Sad how evil can neighbor be

I've learned over time that we should never piss someone off.

John Prante was released from prison in 2019 after serving 36 years of his 75 year sentence. Now out of prison, he is still trying to clear his name.

Love this series front India ❤❤❤❤❤

Weird that the so called bite mark wasn’t noticed during the first autopsy and the true cause of death wasn’t either. I’m surprised that they got a conviction. Seems sketchy AF.

I think the profiler just described the suspect that the prosecutor told him that he wanted. No way you can look at a crime scene and determine what kind of car, or what color car, someone drives. The more I learn about this case , the more sketchy it seems.

All these murders on forensics files are out of jail now..... Look up each name you see on a episode you will be surprised

So he just walked in her house and killed her? Then changed her clothes? What the... I'll never understand.

Lmao @ “sloppy appearance”. 😂😂😂

That is very very good detective work wow and thank you

Rip Karla… the actress that portrayed her reminds me of Alicia Silverstone.

Just to say that bite marks, while potentially useful, are not definitive identifiers such as fingerprints. Lie detectors though should just be got rid of, they are a joke...

One will never get away with it! Because the power of people and especially of the investigators with science goes beyond everyone's reach💪☺️

Good for him. Poor Karla.

You mean to tell me they could determine what kind of car he drove and the color? I swear the FBI just pretends like they knew this before they actually got the guy.

There were so many things in this crime that don’t make sense. Changing her clothes; moving her from the couch to the basement (how did the criminal know the layout of the house and there would be stuff in the basement to continue the crime?); pretty much strangling her then also drowning her; putting the coffee pot in the rafters?!? Also, who witnessed the exchange between Karla and John while she was moving in? Seems more likely to me it was the husband, coming up with some convenient facts to put suspicion elsewhere (she wouldn’t wear that sweater in summer). What a weird case.

Received parole after 36 years. Crime does pay.

How on earth did that profiler figured out that the killer would have a red Volkswagen?

Man, this is sick!

omg *locks doors*

Yeah, Prante is out of jail!!!! Good job guys.

All By Himself Their Psychology Is Run Finished.

It bewilders me that they didn't process Karla's house for any finegrprints. That would have been the smoking gun!

Hey yeah teeth/bite marks evidence is skeptical but not really EVERY human beings mouth/teeth are different like finger prints there's no one/none the same🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

She looks strikingly similar to Melissa Joan Hart

People have to learn not to open their doors to knocks

🌈It’s amazing how science keeps improving to help us in so many ways. Thank you FF and all the people who make the show possible and my deepest condolences to all the victims and their families.😘

Um. There’s a big difference between a Volvo and a VW!!

The fiancé’s name was Mark Fair but in the episode they changed it to Mark Heart. It’s correct in the description. I don’t know why they changed it on here but I googled Karla Brown and found Mark fair

Just cos someone tied someone up with a cord, does not mean they have some kind knowledge in electrical work. How they came up with that , does not make any sense

I love that he called the socks mates

14:15, oooh. That plumbing next to the coffee can looks SO JANKY. That can't POSSIBLY be code. Right?

i know exactly where that happened, because it’s right up the street from the Police Department !!! i was also living in the town around the same time that it happened

So sad

Adam Driver spotting at 6:00! 😉

There are several cases in this series from 1978. DNA was still a good 7 or 8 years away and it wasn't as advanced yet as it would be in the '90s. It likely would have been solved sooner if DNA technology was available.

Back when it was about just good police work and common sense😇

He knew the bite mark was there because he's clairvoyant! 🙄

Sad😢😢

10:05.... SpongeBob and Patrick would've probably used sentence enhancers instead ..... Just sayin.... LMFAO

I don't know that girl just seemed kind of absolutely rude to that guy from the get-go. You should always be nice to everyone cuz you don't know who you're dealing with

We all special after we past when we alive nobody . Notices rest in peace Carla..

"Drownding" - the autopsy technician

😅just unnecessarily destroyed a beautiful life ,evil man 💔💔💔

Love the original series into music!

Omg how come the fbi really match all. I can’t believe omg amazing
