| 0:00.0 | From NBII Studios, this is Truth and Justice, a crowdsourced investigation in real time. I'm Bob Roth. |
| 0:40.3 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Truth and Justice. |
| 0:50.1 | In this season, season 18 of Truth and Justice, we are highlighting justice warriors in the true crime space. |
| 0:53.8 | And today's episode is this beginning. |
| 0:58.7 | I don't know. It may be a little clunky when it's done because we're doing an interesting crossover thing. |
