| 0:20.9 | is this. Please subscribe to us on iTunes and make sure you leave us a five-star review with a little |
| 0:26.1 | bit of feedback. That's how other listeners can also discover our show and we really, really need |
| 0:30.7 | those reviews. Thanks so much for listening. And now, here is this week's episode. |
| 0:45.3 | Thank you. And now, here is this week's episode. Sometimes we're working on this case. |

| 1:30.3 | And that's the fact that much of this case has been preserved only as an oral history, and not in written records. |
| 1:37.3 | Because for the original investigation, from 1985 to 1990, many of the records documenting what investigators did have |
| 1:46.6 | been lost. And for the reopened investigation, from 1998 to 2003, little of what was done was |
| 1:54.6 | ever documented in the first place, which means that for much of the evidence against it as Perry, |
