Speaker 1: Pushkin. It all started with two federal agents who heard
Speaker 1: a rumor.
Speaker 2: She mentions, well, there is this alleged murder to have
Speaker 2: taken place.
Speaker 1: Supposedly, this happened fifteen years prior, right before senior prom
Speaker 1: Two teenagers, self proclaimed skinheads, drove to Philadelphia and killed
Speaker 1: a black man. One was behind the wheel, the other
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger. The agents wondered, could they track the
Speaker 1: driver down and get him to talk. I'm thinking nobody
Speaker 1: does that.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to talk to their least favorite FBI and
Speaker 3: ATF agent in the world about a homicide they didn't commit.
Speaker 1: But even if they got this guy to talk, they
Speaker 1: had a bigger problem.
Speaker 4: They had these details, but they didn't actually have a
Speaker 4: body to go with it.
Speaker 1: How unusual was that to have someone say, hey, we
Speaker 1: we we're pretty certain there's a murder, we have a confession.
Speaker 4: We just we got no body.
Speaker 2: That's rather unusual.
Speaker 1: So how do you solve a crime in reverse when
Speaker 1: you think you know who the murderer is but have
Speaker 1: no clue who the victim was.
Speaker 2: We have to do our job and we have to
Speaker 2: find out who did they kill? If possible, how are
Speaker 2: we going to do that?
Speaker 1: Their investigation leads them to a family who's also searching
Speaker 1: for answers and for justice.
Speaker 4: I used to watch the Unsolved Mischievy shows and I
Speaker 4: often thought about calling because I was like, this, this
Speaker 4: is not right. How can a person get killed and
Speaker 4: no one knows any thing.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years is a long time. Evidence vanishes, memories fade,
Speaker 1: witnesses slip away. But the questions linger, is the rumor true?
Speaker 1: Is this really something two teenagers did? And is it
Speaker 1: still possible to unearth the truth?
Speaker 3: I think she was trying to get answers. I feel
Speaker 3: like she was, you know, still heartbroken. A body now
Speaker 3: in a criminal case. The prosecution side of the story,
Speaker 3: they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. As to
Speaker 3: the defense side of the story, we just have to
Speaker 3: create reasonable doubt. But we did way more than that.
Speaker 1: Was definitely a different type of case.
Speaker 3: A skinhead coming to Philadelphia to kill somebody.
Speaker 1: A cowardly act.
Speaker 3: When it all boils down to it, a cowardly act.
Speaker 4: We didn't like the speculation the family, and I thought
Speaker 4: that this would be good if we found these what
Speaker 4: happened to them. Can't do nothing about it, can't bring
Speaker 4: them back. But at least we'll find out the truth.
