“I’m about 3/4 through season 1, so I’m not sure how much headway is actually made. But I do want to say that the producers have a level of respect for their audience that comes across through their patience and reluctance to use cheap “cliffhanger” style tactics that lead to no resolution in the next episode(s) but kinda trick the listener into continue listening.
Also- because the case is 20 or so years old, and the crime was committed in Kill Devil Hills ON A LOCAL, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if putting this case back in the spotlight, possibly providing a little pressure for the police to do a little police work- will help solve it soon. The Manteo police and the KDH police butter their bread with vacationers getting intoxicated and either driving drunk or doing something else that’s stupid and gets them caught up in a game of “pay to post bail, pay for a lawyer, pay for a hotel and dinner when they inevitably have to come back to court (at least once), pay court costs, pay to opt out of community service, etc…. The cops down there have figured out how to basically PRINT money year round- it’d be a shame to actually spend some of that money and and time getting a murder solved. The crime doesn’t appear to be committed by some mastermind. Put a detective on the case that cares, and they will have someone in cuffs lickity-split.
Thanks for the high quality production and the attention to detail and respect for the victim.
👍”
