Speaker 1: investigative podcast from my Heart Radio. For more than a decade,

Speaker 1: has remained unsolved. I've spoken to anyone even remotely involved, friends, family, neighbors, detectives, suspects,
Speaker 1: you name it. But it wasn't until this past year
Speaker 1: that things took an unexpected turn, and after eleven years
Speaker 1: of investigating a breakthrough, now immediately it just sat on
Speaker 1: the floor like somebody just punched me in the gut.
