| 0:21.6 | Not someone I would expect to do such a thing. |
| 0:23.6 | How anybody could do that to another human being is just absolutely unbelievable. |
| 0:28.6 | Hey true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialessly. |
| 1:00.8 | With me, your host, Annie E. Lease, your true crime bestie, and I am here to break down another |
| 1:06.8 | case for you today. |
| 1:08.0 | And look, I hope whether you're listening to this on release day on Monday |
