0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.7	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.8	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.4	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.

2:12.4	Whatever happened happened on that road.
2:16.0	The dogs searching in the area lose Mara's scent right in the middle of the road.
2:21.7	What I think happened, and I know I went over this a few times in the series, is Mara made a quick
