In this bonus episode, we focus on the investigation into the prime suspect in the murder of Cheri Jo Bates. Known by the pseudonym "Bob Barnett," this individual was once a student at Riverside College and was initially questioned in the days following Cheri Jo’s death. Despite chilling confessions from his friends and his suspicious behavior, no physical evidence has ever linked Barnett to the crime. Join us as we explore decades of investigative twists, from inconclusive polygraphs to DNA evidence, and the unresolved question—could Bob Barnett really be the killer, or was Cheri Jo's murderer never even on the police’s radar?
