He is even sicker then you think, he sat there for almost 5 hours waiting for her to drive by

@@stfuplsokThan.
Yep....disgusting. He could of went home, had 5 hours to do so, pure evil!
Patience is easy with police, they sit and wait most their shift
That's why they're called pigs
Josh Griffin's appeal was overruled by the North Carolina Supreme Court in 2005. He continues to serve his sentence.
Thanks
Loving it!!
Thank you for the info really appreciated. Please read my comment above. Now saying that I too was harassed by a police officer, he stops me I was doing nothing I had my little in car he Tald me if I go lunch with him, he won't give ticket. No, I was not speeding, and I want you to respect my family. Then he looked in my eyes with cold look and him being tall and big man me being 5'2 him 6'3 6'4 it was really scarry for me I took the ticket. I still get chills when I remember his cold eyes.
I amagine he isn't enjoying his residential suite that much.
A cop in prison knows it's eventually going to end up chop suey time.
Inmates are harder than defenceless woman in handcuffs to control.
He probably cries himself to sleep each night the stupid coward.
Wow Thanks U that's good news ever Sick Monster For Real
I really hope that, from now on, all Monroe police officers are required to notify their chief of police if any officer mentions stalking anyone or makes inappropriate comments about someone so the behavior can be addressed and stopped. That poor woman was killed for doing nothing wrong! So sad. 😢
Macho a holes
Yes Monroe police come up in quite a few aweful failures
All police should pay attention to the screwed up things their fellow officers say. They are just people after all.
Oh😅😅 ok 21:44 😊😊😊
So sad for the husband that lost his beautiful wife by the hands of someone the public is supposed to trust😢
well ….you do that kind of work, shit will happen
Almost the same thing happened with cop named
Officer Friendly. He begged to be off that day. He snapped
@sega62s Yeah, being a cop will get to your toxic masculinity.
@@patriceryan That isn't what he meant ;)
@@sega62sdo what kind of shit ?
In February 1998 Josh Griffin (then 28) was found guilty of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He remains incarcerated at Pamlico Correctional Institution in Bayboro, North Carolina. Griffin confessed to the crime in 2005.
Wow! He's incarcerated in the next county over from my county. Pamlico County is only a thirty minute drive from my house here in Craven County. Small world. Thank you for the information.
@@johnnabuzby6103 YW 🙂
@@jcspider7259 Greetings from New Bern, NC. 🙂👋✌
That would make him 54 now, still young enough to kill again. Thank goodness he will not get parole.
Confessed 7 years later after convicted? Probably thought it'd grant him a parole opportunity 💀💀 thought wrong
What a senseless murder because of lust and ego! An innocent woman's life was taken by a police officer because she wanted to do the right thing!
This story always breaks my heart poor girl 🤦🏽♀️
Cops should NOT be able to use squad cars while off-duty....that shit is crazy that they allowed that.
Most departments don’t
@@JAllen-vy6ig How would they know then? If he's got the car, they don't have to pay to park them.
so they even confirmed that all his fellow police officers knew that he had been stalking her AND stalking multiple other women... They always protect their own, and cover up their own crimes.....
I forget which episode it was, but there was an officer who said " I wasn't going to just take him on his word because he was a fellow police officer" and I thought finally someone using their brain!
So sad and sick 😮😮😮😮
Yes and I was surprised they did not follow up with that call from that police officer who falsely claimed that he had seen her husband moving at night! which makes me believe that was a dead end and another fellow police officer rooting for him! and means more than one officer were in this together!!!
Uhm, you are stretching the facts pretty hard. That’s not at all what happened.
@@stephaniejenkins1840 That sounds like the episode entitled All the World's a Stage.
20:36 "You put a signal on, as if you are going to turn, you wait until you get to a well lit area, that's a public place where there are other people."
Me: Yeah, try that with ASP.🤣
Pit into the ditch lol
Many comments about how old this video is. It doesn't matter. It's a very interesting story. Damned sociopathic murder. A rotten police officer. My respect for the honest police officers that caught him.
Those people aren't fans of the show. I'm glad when I can find all episodes.
Yea right. All those great, lying, disrespectful cops who never reported to their supervisors that they knew he was stalking her. We need a whole lot less cops like these coconspirators. They were hired to protect & serve, NOT to cover for another crooked, criminal cop. They should all have been fired.
Drivers obtaining their license should be shown this episode or an edited portion as part of the test. Don’t stop your vehicle in a dark place when blue lights show up behind you, keep moving until reaching a lighted area and public area.
@@AtlargeinAsk them to get a marked car, anyway. Tho this WAS a marked car.
It won't end well if you refuse to stop.
This guy @@Atlargeinis cop
Her husband had the first clue who the murderer was. Before the team of detectives..
The truth will always come out at some point in life! Well done to the police investigators for their excellent work 👏
So teue bro
Sadly nope, doesn't always happen. Still so many unsolved cases out there.
She was driving in the middle of nowhere, if she doesn't pull over right away,and wait till she gets to well lit public spot,she'll be charged with evading police. U can never win with authorities.
This is a very old case. It’s really not like that now. Especially given the time of night it happened.
@@gayledimitri5887 I really don’t think it’s any different now. A couple of things like this have happened recently in the US and UK
@@gayledimitri5887 just a couple years ago a pregnant woman had her car flipped by the police PIT maneuver when she tried to continue driving to exit the highway safely and to a well lit area. You can’t win with these scumbags.
Ricky Hurtado your preaching to the choir! Lol. I had a crazy cop BF years ago! Stalker, abusive and broke into my house numerous times. The wealthy area I lived in covered it up! I could (and should) write a book about it. Too unbelievable to sound real. Made me stronger though. And not to EVER trust the police!
Davis DunahughGoProvideos I’m in NJ USA. They started using cameras in the cruisers back in the late 90’’s, which cops weee not happy about. I had a ex bf cop that was abusive, and the PD was afraid of him. So they covered it up. It wasn’t until I went to the prosecutor’s office that anything got done. This nut threatened that he would kill me and they would never find my body. If I ever wrote a book about it, it would be unbelievable. The boys in blue ALWAYS a cover for each other.
Young good-looking man who had a life that just started takes the life of innocent person and destroys his life and others for what
That guy killed her for no reason and threw his whole life away. The depth human behavior has no boundaries.
who cares if he was good looking
he’s a dirt bag
@@missmoney420 because he could get a woman without this, it's implied.
I hope he’s in prison for life with no parole. Never let him out
I certainly agree with that.
He has the same last name is Peter Griffin
I hope Bubba knocks the soap out of his hand. Young blonde boy....yes!
He's still rotting in prison. He's serving life without parole

"All-American kid" 😂
Term used for whites
All-American kid = privileged white
Do not trust anyone, not even the police!!
Especially the police.
a 24 years old running around town with a weapon and a police car without an inclining of supervision!!!! he is high on power!
Being high on power is one thing but that should never drive someone to kill. The man was very evil.
@@Rye-jl2fk Not to be rude-sounding, but you DO know power is why they BECOME cops, usually, not any altruistic desire to help. It's why killers do what they do, too.
@@Rye-jl2fk
The crux of the matter is that he was an insecure young man who was high on power and she rejected him.
Omg, that bastard. No darn reason for killing her....cops are capable of anything. It's scary..he should have been given the death penalty. Why didn't her husband come meet her? So sad...
@Jan Lima that’s a red herring lol. You’re making the argument that every person who works in the adult entertainment industry is at risk or every person who goes to the club is dangerous. And it wasn’t even a patron that killed her lol. It was a cop not even connected to the club
@Jan Lima "No real man let his wife .....?" Oh, brother. The second he told her no, you would be bleating "controlling PIG!!!!". She was a hooker. Bad things happen to hookers. A REAL WOMAN doesn't use her body for profit.
@@RussellGreerOfficial it IS dangerous PLACE and JOB
Same thing I said... Why didn't her husband come get his wife
@@RussellGreerOfficial, you’re missing the point… everywhere you work is dangerous. Her husband knew she was in danger so he should have met her. Anyway, sadly that’s how she was to leave this Earth.
Privileged man who couldn’t take no for an answer.
Privileged man or “all American kid”? I’ve always been puzzled by that expression. What does it mean to be an all American kid?
WHITE. End of story.

I happened to turn on Forensic Files last night as I had not watched the show in years ... the Kim Medlin murder was broadcast . I live in Union County , NC and remember this case very well. I have no sympathy for Josh Griffin and Kim died so young , brutally, but what has always plagued me is why would a man let his wife work in a strip club and coming home late at night? The money was good? So what. It' always bothered me. Yes, Josh Griffin is where he belongs. RIP Kim
I’ve watched a lot of these type shows and I was an investigator for 10+ years and have never heard the term “blue light bandit”.
Ok but it is a term. Look it up.
Apparently "blue light bandit" crimes are more common than I thought. Just Google the term and you will see numerous cases past and present.
Ask any woman who drives alone at any time, but particularly at night.
Policemen are the worse kind.
2:25 in....My mind immediately said bad cop.Car pulled to the side, driver license missing.Easiest episode to figure out.RIP Kim.Beautiful lady.
How freaking scary unreal 😢
Praying for the family and friends left behind ❤️🙏🏼
I felt sorry for the father and mother.💛
@@nicholasshadekmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I was surprised they did not follow up with the call or report from that police officer who falsely claimed had seen her husband moving at 2 at after midnight! which makes me believe that another fellow police officer rooting for him! and means more than one officer were in this together!!!
@@aref111 It could very well have been the perpetrator himself who supposedly saw Bridger Medlin's truck driving downtown and called in a false report of it to cast suspicion on Bridger.
Glad the murderer was held accountable.
Often the difference between cops and criminals, comes down to a coin toss.
Absolute monster. I would call 911 to tell them you're being pulled over & you want to make sure it's legitimate. Now you have it documented.
0:37 sec: The reconstruction had me tho 😅😩😂
similar Cara Evelyn Knott student at San Diego State University who disappeared on December 27, 1986, while driving from her boyfriend's home in Escondido, California, to her parents' house in El Cajon. The following day, December 28, her car was found on a dead-end road at the Mercy Road off-ramp from I-15 in San Diego County. Her body was recovered at the bottom of a 65-foot ravine nearby. Her killer, Craig Alan Peyer (born March 16, 1950 to Harold and Eileen Peyer) was a police officer and 13-year veteran of the California Highway Patrol
Yeah! She was already scared and nervous and would not have pulled over unless the police were involved.
9:45 - my God.! The haircut on the husband. Super mullet haircut of the century.!!
That magnificent bastard had a party in the front AND the back.
Bridger was a DJ back then and that was the style. They were working so hard to get a carriage company, and it was so close to being reality. Kim was a sweetheart, pretty with a bubbly personality - and had the coolest (I thought) jeep. Bridger was and is 'salt of the earth' - kind and will give you the shirt off his back. This is sad on so many fronts. RIP Kim, you are missed!
@@lizpound2278 Do you know if Bridger ever got remarried?
@badkarma1289 ..what does that mean..
@@JulieLeach-z6t They used to say a mullet was business in the front (short) and party in the back (long).
It was a dumb asinine haircut THEN, even tho even Geddy Lee or Rush and Steve Perry of Journey had them in about 1985-87. Somewhere in there, they also wore kimonos at their shows. I don't know HOW that happened.
The other officers he was talking to all along about her and they ain't say anything because they ain't right themselves it should be more action done because the other officers knew that he was a stalker and they did not say anything about it so I believe that makes it some type of crime
Blue Iives matter, where you at?
@@AmirKhan-yv8jm where *are

Kudos to the shoe impression expert! Wow...
Calm, dedicated, motivated people who are amazing in their chosen fields like this person is how social pests are put in place...
The narration is movie worthy.🙌
If you're interested in learning more about Peter Thomas, there's a Wikipedia article about him. Peter Addenbrooke Thomas narrated a documentary movie about the liberation of a concentration camp in WWII in which he participated. The documentary won an Academy Award.
A dissappointment to his own department and worst the rest on that workforce... This is a sabotage to any police organization and should have him subjected into discretionary act to attain justice at any means necessarry!!!!!!!!
Its a very sad world out there 😢poor beautiful kim😢
The intro was a little much for me. Didnt need to see that many strippers 😂. I kept thinking ok ok we get it 😆
Agree
Whoever notified that his husband was around driving his car must be the killer.
As of October 2024, he is still incarcerated in the state of Tennessee. He is 56 years old.
He is 50 not 56 but yes, he has spent more time in prison than his entire lifetime outside. 🎉
I was an interpreter for 19 years in court some of it in the federal and I am still helping with their paperwork for free. I have meet so many police officers will give their shirt off their back. I believe one thing the establishment should background investigation should be more thoroughly. As I said there are really very nice police officers, but this murderous young officer should have NEVER been allowed to be a police officer. Now her family have every right to sue the City as well as the police.
Most cops usually get away with these types of murders. Something to ponder.
That fountain was beautiful. The one in front of the police station.💛
Poor woman! She may rest in peace!
What a monster.
They are always calling murderers like Griffin an all American kid when in fact they are Just the opposite.
The young woman did not deserve anything that killer cop did to her.
The opposite? You must be an all American kid if you think that.
That statement was followed up with the words “on the surface he seemed like”.
Terms like "true-blue" or "All American", are euphemism for "all white".
I wish she would’ve at least swopped cars with her husband for a few months…
It is scary that you can’t even trust a cop! Wow. This case was unbelievable. Very sad though that Kim lost her life because of a corrupt and sick individual who happened to be a police officer. Very disgusting and disturbing case.
Grow up, 1/3 of police are corrupt
Can’t even trust a cop? 😂 Yeah, you must be late to the party. Good luck tho!
That’s what BLM has been saying for years. Glad you agree. Also, why it took this video for you to realize it’s scary, I’ll never know. But I can guess 😢❤🙏
Some years back in my area there was a police impersonator. He had pulled at least four people over before he was finally caught. It caused quite a lot of uneasiness.
Remember. Cops are legally allowed to lie to you. Don’t. Talk. To. The. Cops.
Its hard to know who you can truth these days. Scary! RIP dear Lady!
Sorry, no man is protecting his wife if she is working that job. Remind me why I'm supposed to trust the police again? Way to use the right shoes buddy. 😳🙄 How did you become a cop?😂
What's with more and more cops and other public entity servants permitted to use publicly tax payer owned vehicles for personal use. These vehicles should be parked at precinct, yard etc for next shift. Only cruisers that should be allowed to take home are State Troopers and k-9 units only period.
They should look into the possibility of the road raging motorist and that cop being partners in crime
Very unlikely not worth considering
"Three can keep a secret if two are dead."
Totally freaked me out
If you can't trust the police ,who can you trust ?
You're kidding, right? They're often kinda useless, if you're LUCKY.
Look up John Grisham, An Innocent Man.
Nobody 😢
Officer Josh Griffin big mistake was to ask Kim to join him in the patrol cruiser while he was “ checking out” her driving records. No police officers do that, NONE! I know that for a fact knowing a few police officers, a detective, and the Police Department Captain where I live. This young man was fixated with Kim and wanted more from her…..and when she refused his advances he decided to kill her.
This police officer ruined his career as a police officer being there only a year and now he has a record for life IF he gets out of jail. But sadly, Kim lost her life because of him. Disgraceful to say the least, he is repugnant.
Imagine going to work, you finish your job, and going home, you find death. It was despicable what this officer did to Kim, he was a true monster.
Rest in Peace always, Kim 🙏🌹
Her husband should have gotten his A out of bed to go get his wife. Especially in a strip club. Some guys think they're all ho's or her "being nice" while working means way more to him than she meant.
Then, when she says NO, all he'll breaks loose. That's the deal w a LOT of men.
Wow what a bum hope he is enjoying his time in PC.
Who was the officer who claimed they seen the husband's truck?
It must be the killer, which why they didn't look of it and ask about.
Rip beautiful lady🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
This couple loved each other, I really feel for her husband here, Im glad he got justice but it can never replace his wife.
Too many evil in this world!
This story makes me so sad 😞 she lost her life for reporting a problem to a dirty cop 👮♀️ Whom couldn’t understand she didn’t want him.
Who* couldn't understand that she didn't want him.
14:12 The headline vs. the content in the article do not match. 😂
Police vehicle line-up : Forensic Files really innovative with terminology 😊
C’mon, guys! I know most of these scenes are re-enactments, but why is Mr. Navarro handling evidence WITHOUT any gloves while looking for evidence of latent fingerprints? Really ruined it for me.☹️
the cast can't find gloves and was in a hurry for this segment at that time.
Exactly, this was just an re-enactment that's why Mr. Navarro isn't wearing any gloves, because he had already collected the evidence he needed prior to the filming of this episode.
I notice that too.
I love real crime, I love this show
Other officers should have come forward the first time
I'm shocked the cops didn't cover for their friend
Nobody liked him
When you think about it, this poor lady ended up being stalked, and then killed, because she asked that particular police department to protect her… one bad apple severely damaged the trust given to law enforcement.
1:06 - 1:10 "She was beautiful, but she was smart about it." By being a waitress at a strip club?😮🤔🤣 He said that like she was a professional model.😂
Bestest voice over
*NO* good reason why law enforcement officers should be allowed to drive their agency vehicles while off duty
It took two weeks to find her car 🤦🏽♂️ that’s the road she drove to go home
No, two weeks after the bulletin went out to keep an eye out for her car, they found her car. The car had only been sitting there for maybe a few hours maybe even less.
That hair though, @09:45 ...
Holy crap! That's bigger and foofier than the BEE GEES back in the day! LOL! Screaming! That's what the wife is laughing at here.
He was a inmate on protective custody at the prison I use to work at
I hope he gets 'prison justice'.
He's probably been receiving it for the past 26 years now
I think he's the one that told the authority that he saw her husband car driven that night. So that the police will be focus on the husband and not him.
I doubt it, it stated his alibi was that he went home after work.
@@jtleon7086he didn't
😮💨sad n scary and glad he got caught
He must be having a swell time in prison. One good thing about this
15:37 "An all-Amercian Kid" is exactly who would commit a crime of this type!
Damn he has small feet! 🤣🤣 That figures..
Little feet, Ha! Ha! Ha!💛
Small feet, small D. That was his only way to get laid.
That's probably where the anger comes from.
@@VincentWilliams007 😊
Must be only a little more than five feet tall..
Awesome!!!
That guy with car problems and asked the cop for a tow truck really messed up his made up story. As a cop, he really should have knew that cell phone records will he checked, once that call was made to the tow truck company, he should really have ditched his plan and do it another day. Months and months later...
Now days with GPS trackers it makes it much easier to trace their movements when using company vehicles such as patrol cars.
It’s fuckin crazy to know this happend in my hometown! I was a baby but it’s crazy af
A disgrace on a man of uniform. 🤬🤬
My how times have changed. Notice at 14:40 how a cop accused of murder is going for a ride in civilian clothes in the FRONT SEAT OF THE COP CAR UNCUFFED!!!!!!
why was he sitting in a parking lot 4 hrs after his shift ended?everything he said was shown to be a lie
lust has no boundaries for him.
@@stfuplsok It's CONTROL, not lust so much.
So they asked for the police to keep an eye out for her and one of them takes advantage of it.
Why didn't her husband pick her up after work? Especially after she had that incident of road rage
Thats NOT the point tho is it!?
@@alli-kat2329 that happens to be a good point.
Alli-Kat I am not blaming her husband but if she had a problem if it was possible he should have picked her up. I had a problem once and I always had someone meet me.
Did you not see his magnificent mullet? That requires a lot of time and effort at home.
You don't know or understand the area. It's a long haul to the Men's Club from Monroe and Kim didn't always have set hours. Bridger was a DJ back then, so it just wasn't doable. Not to mention, Charlotte was very safe then (97).
The idea of being attacked by he whom is supposed to protect u is disturbing
*by whom
Can somebody please tell me what is the name of the episode of Forensic Files where a killer was murdering people and entering through their balcony. He was ex-military and he committed murders on the East Coast and West Coast. I cannot find that episode.
All Charged Up
Try Tubi. They have them, tho commercials are very long and VERY LOUD.
The husband had the crazy big blond mullet!
Glorious
That magnificent bastard was a party in the front AND back..
That was something! I've NEVER seen one like that, and I was THERE. lol
Hope the department has upped the quality of its psychological screening
No, why would they? People who get off on power go right for the pd and military.
Police officers should not be allowed to take their work vehicles home and all strip Clubs should be shut down , my opinion
I wonder what led him to make his confession
Officer Josh Griffin was a very stupid young man who committed a horrible crime. He is now incarcerated for life and even if he is let out of prison, he will never be a police officer again, not to mention, he will carry a police record for life. Talking about men who don’t think first before taking action. This young guy was very immature to be a police officer for what I gather, and should have never being in law enforcement. He disgraced himself and the department he represented. SMH
May Kim Rest in Peace always 🙏
What kind of man let’s his wife work at so call gentleman’s club, I wouldn’t let my wife work there,😬
I was thinking the same thing
I agree and she drives home alone.
Interviewer: "So why do you wanna be a cop?"
Josh: "Girls."
"We can't believe he did this! He's an all American!"
Translation: He's blonde
Try to take the evidence with him
Would he have got away with it if not for the shoe print?
