| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's a busy holiday week, and during this week, we are bringing you a look back at some of the most compelling stories and conversations we've covered for you in 2024. |
| 0:11.9 | It's 24 in review. |
| 0:13.9 | This is the Hidden Killers podcast with Tommy Bruske, featuring special guest and forensic scientist, Dan Crane. |
| 0:20.8 | So if Missy here, she's at the top of the food chain, she's retiring, you know, |
| 0:25.7 | from what she thought initially was at the top of her game, then people started going, wait |
| 0:30.5 | a second here. |
| 0:31.5 | I mean, that's leadership from the top down. |
| 0:34.8 | And if this is how things are being conducted, I'm guessing a lot of people thought |
| 0:41.5 | that this is acceptable or this is how it's done because that's the direction that they were given |
| 0:47.2 | by leaders or a leader in this case. Or if you're in this field, do you know this is not okay to do even if, you know, |
| 0:58.1 | those who have taught you and been mentoring you and helping you along the way are doing it |

| 1:11.2 | or is this really like, it's a shortcut, you know, it's a shortcut, you probably shouldn't do it, |
| 1:15.4 | but it seems everybody does it, so why not keep doing it? |
| 1:18.7 | Yeah, you know, of course, we have no idea what the water cooler conversations work, right, |
| 1:24.7 | in terms of, oh, yeah, does I got a solution for you. I think the fact that it went on for 30 years or 29 years suggests that it wasn't something that she was wearing on her sleeve. She wasn't boasting about. It's the sort of thing that if a defense attorney involved in a case got wind of it, they would have definitely |
| 1:46.0 | pursued it. I know some very good defense attorneys who wrestled DNA issues in Colorado, and |
| 1:51.5 | if they had gotten wind of this, they would have dug deep and found it. So I don't think it was |
| 1:56.8 | something that was too broadly broadcast within the laboratory. |
| 2:02.3 | Why now? I mean, why just now are we learning about this? And she was able to get away with |
| 2:08.0 | doing this behavior for nearly 30 years. Well, I would say it's a failure of the system. |
