We were just stunned. We were stunned. We were trying to figure out how the blanket

got on her, why she was there like she was. Who in our community would do this?

I've just got Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff.

I'm Anna Sige-Nikolasi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of investigation

discoveries through conviction. And this is Anatomy of Murr.

This is our first episode of 2022 and we hope each and every one of you had a joyous

holiday season and spent some quality time with family and friends. I know that we both

did.

The New Year is so often a time of renewal, of positivity, getting ready with those New

Year's resolutions for the upcoming year, but sometimes those feelings of hope or plans

for the future can be cut short. And that's what happened in today's story.

Today's case is about a well-loved, gentle woman of deep faith. But on New Year's day

in 2013, she was found dead. And to help us tell the story, we spoke to Sikinektyd's

chief of police, Eric Clifford, who at the time was a detective lieutenant.

There was a really heavy snowstorm a few days before and it was New Year's day. It's

generally a day for everybody to relax after New Year's Eve wishing in the New Year.

It's a day that you could either relax yourself and catch up on a lot of desk work or you

can go out into the field and get a lot of work done there.

You know, I remember my days in uniform working on New Year's Day and they were always very

quiet and I'm sure it's that way at police agencies all over the country, including in

Sikinektyd in New York.

But this New Year's Day was going to be anything but quiet for Eric.
