From the Inquirer in Cincinnati.com, I'm Amber Hunt and this is a live episode of

Accused, the Unsolved Motor of Elizabeth Andes. When we released our last episode, we really did think it was probably our last episode.

We admitted we were hopeful that we'd get to record an episode nine, but we weren't holding our breath.

The goal was to solve the case and that meant that maybe one day we would have to record an update saying, hey, guess what?

Some key person has come forward and

it's time we put a bow on this investigation. Some key people have in fact come forward and we'll share some of those conversations tonight, but real crime solving is too far removed from Perry Mason for that to mean much.

So we've still been digging and we've been passing along interesting finds to police, but we are for some reason not in a position to request search warrant or issue subpoena.

So there's only so much we can do on our end with the things that we uncover still we are here recording episode nine, which is crazy.

The podcast did so well that we've really been inundated with questions via email, Facebook, Twitter, all kinds of places, asking for updates and so that's what we'll do today.

Because this is live, we're going to structure this a little differently, but you'll notice some similarities too.

We're also going to ask that you tolerate the difference in recording quality because we are not in a fancy dead room, but in a hardwood floor window storefront in a neighborhood and since an attic called over the rye.

It's a great place for gathering and eating food, but maybe we'll I guess we'll see how good it is for radio recording.

I just promise we won't make a habit of it.

So thanks to listeners being so amazing at spreading the word the first eight episodes have had an astounding four million listens to date unless soundcloud is lying, which we don't think it is.

But we don't want this to be too self-congratulatory because it's not about us. It's never been about us.

The case has come to mean more to us than we can really articulate, but this is about Elizabeth or as her friends always say, you know, it's Beth.

It's always been Beth.

So to that end, I'm really thankful for everybody out there who cared to listen.

If nothing more happens with the case, I know that this is mental out to her family.

This is a woman that they love so much and they miss and they're grateful that her name is known if nothing else.

But meanwhile Amanda and I still work. So we'll start tonight by bringing you up to date.

Right as episode eight was airing, a friend of Beth's named Jane Lemon reached out to me on Twitter.
