Was there really someone else planning to go hiking on that fateful day? And, if so, who was it? 



We also hear some insightful interviews with three people we haven't really talked much about yet.

S14 Ep24: Follow-Up S14: E24 "Murder 101"

Bob is joined by Mr. Alex Campbell. Alex is a High School Sociology Teacher in Tennessee, who challenged his class to solve a 30 year old cold case. The results were absolutely incredible. His students developed a profile of the killer, and drew attention to the case, which was an integral part in solving the case known as "The Red Head Murders". Alex and his class were featured on the podcast "Murder 101". The story is fascinating. Just as fascinating is hearing Alex explain his philosophy on teaching today's youth.
