I'm Sruti. I'm Hannah and welcome to Redhanded. It's not a special Redhanded actually. It's just the most run of the mill.

0:24.9

It is? We've got no news. No. Nothing to ask for. Nothing to say. Just a normal, a normal day at the end.

0:29.9

Absolutely. Just a horrible, horrible murder to tell you about. Everyone ready? Sick.

In October 1992, a young couple who were just bought their dream home in Louisville, Kentucky, were re-decorating.

0:43.9

Do you know my favourite thing about Louisville? Is it that I shouldn't say Louisville, which is what I want to say?

0:48.9

0:56.9

Louisville. When Americans say it, Louisville.
