Today's episode is going to be a Patreon archive episode. I mentioned I was going to start

either fully re-recording these and releasing them or just releasing them into the main feed.

These are old Patreon episodes that were unsolved cases or disputed cases that shouldn't be

behind a paywall for obvious reasons. And unfortunately, those reasons weren't obvious

to me back then. So I am trying to rectify that by releasing these publicly into the main feed

so they can get more attention on them. In this particular case, that of Crystal and Gerard,

is one that has stuck in my head for many years because of really how

controversial it is with the pursuit of a suspect, an immunity deal that would turn out to be

quite the controversial one, and some other factors that happened that led to this case

being unsolved and possibly unsolvable when you have so many different theories of what happened.

And if this was even a murder, this case that seems so clear cut to the investigators ended up rather murky.

So that is the episode you are about to hear. If you do want to join Patreon, Apple, Supercast on those

platforms, I give you all of the crime lines episodes ad-free. And then you get access to Beyond the Files, which is my other podcast that

takes Forensic Files episodes and tells you the rest of the story. Those come out twice a month.

They are currently only available on Patreon, Apple subscriptions, and Supercast, and they are completely

ad-free on those platforms. So you can go just search up crime lines on those

platforms to subscribe. And with that, here is the episode.

On February 13, 1993, Linda Chack called 911 to tell the police that her boyfriend was in her home and refusing to leave.

He left before the police arrived, and then so did Lynn, leaving her two children home alone overnight.

What happened that night would take 13 years to untangle,

though the official answer remains in dispute.

I'm Charlie, and welcome to Crime Lines.
