A 34-year-old man was found bleeding to death on the street.

This man was Anthony Virgilio, Tony, to his friends.

Calvin Jones would spend 30 years in prison for Tony's murder.

And for 30 years, Calvin Jones would call my house and speak to my father.

What did my dad have to say to a convicted murderer?

When my dad died, he left behind a question.

Was he responsible for killing Tony Virgilio from Sonoro and Tenorfoot TV, the estate?

Listen to the estate wherever you get your podcasts.

Bundled up in scarves and shores against the bitter January morning,

spectators by the thousand gather in the jail yard beneath the gallows.

Charles Christopher Robinson is about to hang for murder.

And the excited crowd has risen early to watch him wriggle and arrive at the end of a rope.

Kate Edo's is likely among those jostling and elbowing for a view of the drop.

She earns her living writing songs and singing them on the streets.

And she's seen many a new snap tight around a villain's neck

because nothing sells quite as well as ballots about murderers.

Kate's wandering, itinerant ways will eventually take her to a neighborhood

gripped by fear of a shadowy serial killer.

But she will not turn his deeds into a profitable song.

Instead, her voice will be among those silenced.

Forever.

I'm Halle Ribbonhold.
