This episode was originally released on Nov 04, 2022 before we had any idea how to properly edit audio. With the talented Kelsey on board we've begun to remaster previous episodes that are still seeking answers.

This week Montana tells Samantha about a mother who was murdered in her own home while 3 months pregnant. There is an absolute idiot of a suspect, and a surprising confession that ties to a previous case we've covered. So stay tuned until the very end.
