Summary

A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.

Slack.com slash DHQ. Hey guys, we just wanted to share a new True Crime mini series from

0:33.1

Wondery and Campside media that we are totally hooked on. The show is called Suspect, and

0:38.4

the story of Suspect starts all the way back in 2008 at a Halloween party thrown by residents

0:43.3

of a Redmond apartment complex. There were tons of people there that night dressed to

0:47.6

the nines in their costumes, drinking, dancing, and having a great time, but later that night

0:52.7

after the party started to die down, one of the residents was murdered in her own home.

0:57.4

The police spoke to those in attendance, working to piece together the night with hazy

1:00.8

recollections, spotty DNA evidence, and dozens of party photos. Eventually, they'd find

1:06.6

a Suspect, and although his DNA was at the crime scene, his story kept changing. When

1:11.5

they finally have him coming for questioning, the police thought he just might confess,

1:15.6

but that didn't happen. And that's when police decided to focus their attention on a different

1:20.0

man. This man's DNA was also found at the crime scene, but this man had a criminal record,

1:25.5

and he just so happened to be the only black man at the party that night. Suspect starts

1:29.9

out as a compelling who done it, but then becomes a story about both cutting edge forensic science

1:34.4

and misled justice, as well as race, policing, and ultimately, the kinds of weighty decisions

1:39.7

that both cops and prosecutors must make every day. Decisions that have the ability to change

lives forever and are almost impossible to reverse.
