We didn't set out to debunk the cause of death in Darleen's case, but when we went through

the pathologist's 1984 findings, a few things just didn't make sense.

It wasn't that we thought the report was wrong or that we knew more than a trained pathologist.

In fact, it was the opposite.

Surely someone with more education than us just needs to explain a few things to me in Emily in layman's terms.

But when we got the report translated from medical jargon to everyday speak,

it proved that everything that stood out to us should have, and it should have stood out to people for the last 38 years.

But for some reason, it didn't.

And now, we're about to tear apart the very foundation on which Darleen's case was built.

So here goes nothing.

This is episode 14, A Massive Revelation.

Darleen's official cause of death is listed as cranio cerebral blunt trauma.

Here's an actor reading word for word, Dr. Rick Hoover's conclusion.

It is my opinion that Darleen R. Holtz, a 28-year-old white female, died as a result of blunt head injuries,

Now, the conclusion was all fine and good, but it was some of his notes leading up to the conclusion that we didn't understand.

Subsequent internal examination demonstrates diffuse scalp-line hemorrhage,

but no evidence of skull fracture, with diffuse mild subarachnoid hemorrhage,

seen over the right parietals for ure cortex, over an area measuring.
