Angie Dodge suffered a terrible fate in the hands of her killer. As one of the cold cases of the 20th century, the investigation led to a false accusation. The wrongly identified culprit unfortunately spent 20 years in prison before the authorities finally traced the real perpetrator. Because of an intense DNA matching technology and the convict’s confession, the case was finally solved. 

In the second part of the two-episode interview with Tom Myers, discussions about the importance of interviews and interrogations were brought up. In a world where crimes continue to plague people, it’s up to the authorities to be extra vigilant and discerning when it comes to their investigation. Liars can hide really well but authorities should know how to identify them. 

Technology paves the way for accuracy. Equipment that analyze genetics can trace the culprit. Skills of probing are also integral in identifying the suspect. 

“You can’t expect to be in a bad situation and come out of that okay. You wouldn’t be swimming with sharks that are really hungry.” - Tom Myers
