Tad Nelson Talks Crime, Cold Cases, and the Constitution

Criminal defense lawyer Tad Nelson sits down with me to talk crime and cold cases. I even share my theory about one of the most infamous unsolved murders in Texas history. It happened in Houston, a place Tad knows all too well.

In this episode of The Chip Mahoney Show , I’m joined by Texas-based criminal defense lawyer Tad Nelson , a courtroom veteran with a background in forensic science and a reputation for fighting tough cases.

We talk about major crimes, the haunting stretch of I-45 known for decades of unsolved murders, and the evolving tools of justice—from genetic genealogy to the potential of blockchain in law.

We also revisit one of Houston’s most disturbing cold cases—the 1990 Lover’s Lane murders —and explore why DNA hasn’t cracked it, what the presence of a long-barreled gun might suggest, and why the killer may have never intended to pull the trigger.

At the end, Tad brings it all home with a reminder of what criminal defense is really about: protecting the Constitution, even when the headlines say otherwise.

If you’re into true crime, courtroom insight, and stories the news won’t tell you—this one’s for you.
