All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.

For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,

until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.

I'm telling you, we know, we know Quincy Kilder, we know.

A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.

Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.

My name is Maggie Freeling.

I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.

I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said.

Because this is a story about just how far people and our legal system will go to get a conviction.

They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.

They made me say that I poured gas on her.

So to be clear, law enforcement is paying a citizen with no training to do interviews in a high profile murder investigation.

Yes.

And it's about the tales we tell and choose to believe when we need someone to blame.

This is why you all are stead here, because of lies.

So it sounds like a lot of people have come forward saying, I know who did this, but no one has said who did it.

That's correct.

The repercussions of which have uprooted lives, shattered families, and exposed a deep

rot in Kentucky's halls of power.

To lie on my daughter like that, it's best that I not see the one of them, because I will be in prison.

I've spent over two years trying to get to the bottom of it all.
