| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Week in review. |
| 0:02.4 | I look back at the most prolific stories of the week. |
| 0:05.5 | This is Murder in the Morning with Tony Brewski and Stacey Cole. |
| 0:11.4 | A fired state trooper, a hung jury, and now a juror-returned defense attorney. |
| 0:18.6 | Karen Reed case just added another chapter that feels more like an episode of |

| 1:39.2 | during a drunken argument and drove away. She said she's being framed and that the real killer was at the after party that O'Keefe |
