0:00.0	Hey, everyone is Jen.
0:25.4	And this is Lindsay.
0:26.7	And welcome back to Corpus DeLicti.
0:29.2	We are wrapping up our delayed justice series and tonight's it.
0:34.1	Yeah, we made the decision to go ahead and wrap this one up. It's one that will be very, very
0:41.3	easy to revisit in the future because there's just story after story, which is why we were like,
0:46.3	well, at some point, we got to move on. The next series, I don't know if you guys recall,
0:51.9	but when we did a vote for this current series for
0:57.1	delayed justice, it was very close. There was one right behind it, and we said that we would do
1:01.4	that one next. And that one was cases that were solved through forensic breakthroughs. So that is
1:08.1	what is coming up. We're still working on a name. We asked in the group. So if you have an idea, then just hop in the group and feel free to chime in. So yeah, so we're excited to bring you guys the finale tonight and then jump into something new next week.

2:19.1	Jason, and DeNitra. Now, DeNitra was Jason's half-sister. And these were Lisa's kids,
2:29.3	Lisa being Bobby's daughter. Then Leah and Brittany were her son's kids. His name was Keith. So she's
2:37.0	basically got all the grandkids. The home was Bobby's home. And her daughter, Lisa, which
2:43.4	remember was Jason's mother, also lived in the home with them. But she was at work that evening.
2:50.0	So she did live through the incident.
2:53.6	Autopsies of the victims showed that Bobby was stabbed at least 29 times in the head and neck,
