00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Orbit Media presents Death and Deceit in Alliance. I'm Maggie Freeling,

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: a Pulitzer winning producer and reporter. But one of the

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: worst things that could happen as a journalist happened to me,

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: and it nearly broke me. And it's all told in

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: my podcast, Death and Deceit in Alliance. This was a

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: story from a few years ago, a real time investigation

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: I did with private investigators in twenty twenty one. Back then,

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: we were looking into the brutal murder of a young woman,

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: the murder of a mother of five in her own

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: home stunt the small town of Alliance, Ohio.

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Twenty six year old is von Lane, a beautiful, vivacious

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: woman found in a pool of her own blood.

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: Her case was solved quickly by a confession.

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 4: They chained him to the wall and they told him

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 4: that they wanted him to confess, And I.

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: Was sure the police got the wrong people.

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: This case has absolutely consumed just about everyone who has

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: touched it. The case is haunting.

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: It's haunting, but as I dug, I was not ready

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: for what I found.

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: If you slid her throat right here, there would be blood.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: More blood on.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: That, yeah, on that sofa.

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just on the arm really, And that's

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: what broke me. Were my instincts totally off? Like I'm

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: just like, I don't know, I feel like I got

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: like that.

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: I feel like I got emotional. I don't know, I'd

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: feel really confused.

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: Or was there something actually wrong with this case?

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: You guys have got them.

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to stay.

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: What's I listened to me?

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: Here?

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: My god? I had eight or nine names of officers

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: who were potential sexual partners.

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: She had so many secrets.

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: This case has a cemetary sex tray. It seems like

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: everyone in her life had a motive to kill Yvonne.

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Everyone in this town seems to have some kind of

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: secret or interest in this victim, whether it be drugs,

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: sex or both.

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Now, nearly five years later, I'm looking back at that

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: time in my life and that case with a new lens.
