Summary

Welcome to A Little Less Mess, it's our companion episode to our main weekly releases. In ALLM, you will find just the facts, no opinions, no jokes, no banter, but do not fear! If you would like to hear our full thoughts on this case (and inappropriate jokes) check out the weekly regular episodes released on Thursdays (they're the numbered episodes).

We're headed to the Lone Star State this week with a case out of Fort Worth. Sandra Martin, a young mother of two, was found murdered in her home, the only witness was her 5-year old son. After reaching several dead ends, the case went cold. It would take 23 years and a dedicated detective to solve this case.

Fun Fact: DISH, Texas, located in North Texas, is named after DISH Network. Originally named Clark, Texas, the town changed its name to DISH in 2005 in agreement with DISH Network. In return for the name change, the residents received free basic television and DVRs for ten years.
