Music You know, and the elephant.

In the parable, a group of blind men are brought to an elephant for the first time and

feel different parts of the animal. Understandably,

they all come to contrasting conclusions about what the elephant looks like. But then, rather

than combining their efforts, they each come to suspect that the others are lying. For years,

those who believe Amanda Lewis is innocent have thought that her son AJ did not see her

drown her sister Adriana in the family pool. Instead, they think he came to an incorrect conclusion

about what had happened by only coming upon his sister after the fact. But what's the picture

that emerges not only from Amanda's accounting of events, but also it was said by a fourth person in the trailer on the day of the drowning, as well as a neighbor who drove by a mere minutes before Amanda called 911. Hi, and welcome back to Undisclosed, towards Justice, the State versus Amanda Lewis. My name is Rob B. Joddy. I'm an attorney and author, and I'm here with my colleague Colin Miller. Hi, this is Colin Miller.

This is the second episode of our deep dive investigation into the drowning death of

Adriana Huddo, which led to her mother Amanda being behind bars for the last 18 years.

In terms of Amanda's story of the drowning, let's go all the way back

to the 1980s and 1990s when she was growing up. Well, let me go ahead and start with your childhood

and ask where you grew up and what your childhood was like. I grew up in Alabama, around bothothen, Geneva, Hartford, Slocum.

That was where I grew up.

My parents divorced when I was young, so I kind of ping ponged back and forth.

Most of the time it was of my choosing.

I wouldn't say I had the best of childhoods, but I didn't have a bad one.

I knew my parents loved me like in their own, you know, their own way.

I didn't have a bad childhood.
