This bonus episode marks a moment years in the making. We finally sit down with Dan Skaggs, Shirley’s stepson, to discuss his complicated journey toward closure with his father, Stephen Skaggs. Stephen was arrested in 1986 after attacking two women on Mt. Lemmon and is widely known as the prime suspect in the Joan Marie Archer cold case. Dan reflects on growing up with this reality, the unanswered questions that still linger, and how these events continue to impact not only his life, but the Archer family’s search for peace.

This episode is about more than a case file. It’s about grief, truth, and the painful space between knowing and never fully knowing.
