| 0:16.6 | Hi Dreamers, thank you for coming back for the conclusion of this week's episode. I know it was kind of long to listen to and there was so much to tell and I didn't want to leave anything out so if you're listening to this now and you haven't listened to episode 37 I would recommend you wait to listen to this after you've had a |
| 0:22.4 | chance to finish that one first. |
| 0:26.1 | And as with the last episode, I must provide you with a warning that this contains graphic |
| 0:31.0 | details of violence against a young child, including sexual assault. |
| 0:36.2 | Some of the language is graphic and may not be suitable for all audiences. |
| 0:41.2 | If there are young children around, I would recommend you save this for a later time. |

| 1:27.0 | And then, after five hours of questioning, how could be confessed? |
| 1:32.0 | It wasn't a completely truthful or comprehensive confession, but it was enough |
| 1:37.1 | of an admission to place her under arrest on charges in connection with Sandra's death. |
| 1:46.1 | Today, I'm going to give you the wind up of the case against Tachavi. We'll go over some of the court proceedings, the plea agreement, her apology to |
| 1:51.6 | Sandra's family, and her sentence. |
| 1:54.0 | I'm going to go over a couple of details about the crimes committed against |
| 1:58.0 | Sandra that I sort of glossed over in the main episode and clarify a couple of things that some listeners pointed out to me in regards to the types of drugs |
| 2:06.6 | how could be used to sedate Sandra as well as the way I word certain aspects of the stories that I tell |
