From NBI Studio, this is Truth Injustice, a crowdsourced investigation in real time.

I'm Bob Brun.

I'm starting to feel like our investigation into Javier and his friends is much more of a spiderweb than a ball of yarn.

We're not just pulling on a string looking to see what's on the other end.

Instead, every interview leads us to someone else.

The group keeps expanding out in all directions, but everyone has some tie-and-back to Javier at the center.

Alex Mulan's interview mentioned a girl named Jessica who had her own set of odd experiences with Austin Alba.

So after I spoke with Nick Crumb, I circled back to Jessica.

I'm trying to fill in all the gaps and leave no stone unturned when it comes to the original investigation into this group.

And with every interview I hear, I find myself more curious about how this group was ever cleared by police and why the jury wasn't allowed to hear any of this.

I first listened to this interview because I wanted to hear first-hand about Jessica's interactions with Austin Alba.

But like so many others, there's a lot more to it than that.

This is season 12, episode 23, Jessica Henry.

Texas Ranger James Holland is a legendary interrogator. They call him the serial killer Whisperer.

You can't hide those indications, and that's why yesterday I knew that you did it.

But now, shocking interrogation tapes reveal how the Supercop really operates.

And that's why they ask me to come in because I'm special.

From something else, the Marshall Project and Sony Music Entertainment, this is Smoke Screen. Just say you're sorry.

I don't know if you thought you were on the serial title of Detective Rue, your office.

I guess Crystal, you talked to Crystal about Austin.

I'm going to investigate who's working on the Detective Rue, Eric Hitch.
