Investigating the Case of State of Alabama v. Daniel Benjamin Blan
The highly anticipated Part 1 of Skeptical Season 1 is finally here, and it’s available on all major podcasting platforms. This season, we delve into one of Alabama’s most troubling murder cases: State of Alabama v. Daniel Benjamin Blan.
In 1994, Mike Bernos—a beloved teacher and coach at Verbena High School—was brutally murdered in his home in Rockford, Alabama. His death shocked the local community, but what followed was even more shocking: the conviction of his adoptive son, Daniel Blan, based solely on the testimony of jailhouse informants. No physical evidence tied Daniel to the crime scene, raising serious doubts about the validity of his conviction.
In episodes 1 through 7, investigative journalist Neeli Faulkner takes listeners on a journey through the twists and turns of this complex case. Speaking with those closest to Daniel, including Daniel himself, as well as law enforcement officers, attorneys, and others involved, Neeli uncovers troubling inconsistencies that cast doubt on the original investigation.
To deepen the investigation, Neeli travels to Rockford, Alabama, the site of the murder, and personally reviews the evidence. What she finds raises important questions: Could Daniel have been wrongfully convicted? Did the criminal justice system fail him, relying on unreliable testimony without the support of physical proof?
