| 0:00.0 | on today's episode of Mile Hire. We are joined by |
| 0:03.6 | DA Mitch Morrissey. She's the adorable little girl whose murder has baffled investigators for the |
| 0:10.0 | last 25 years. In the 90s, there would be three murders in one night on a Saturday night. |
| 0:16.0 | Do you think that really drove you to seek justice for as many families as possible? |
| 0:20.9 | Newly released court documents show a grand jury's indicted the girl's parents, |
| 0:25.2 | but Colorado prosecutors declined to file charges against them. |
| 0:28.6 | People felt like if we can't figure out who actually murdered John Benei, |
| 0:32.0 | there's enough circumstantial evidence. I think there's more than that, |

| 1:26.6 | with people that are interested in this. We've talked about a lot of stuff and hopefully we get to a |
| 1:32.4 | lot of the topics that we've already talked about. We've been chatting for the past hour, |
| 1:37.6 | and I wish we just brought the microphones in there because we're getting so many good things. |
| 1:41.5 | I just wanted to elaborate a little bit for those. Obviously, I'll let you introduce yourself a little |
| 1:45.6 | bit more. Mitch Morrissey is the former Denver district attorney and he worked there for many, |
| 1:53.2 | many years. But now has a company called United Data Connect that works in genealogy, |
| 1:59.7 | DNA testing to help solve cold cases, specifically around unsolved homicides and sexual assault cases. |
