Hi, everyone. We're back next week with our regular episodes, but we wanted to give everyone

a little sample of our most recent exclusive episode. In this clip, we are talking about the case

of Sandra Heem, a woman who spent more than four decades in prison for a crime

she didn't commit. Her case raises serious questions about false confessions, investigative

tunnel vision, and what happens when the system gets it wrong, and then refuses to correct

itself. The full episode is available on Patreon and Apple Podcast subscriptions.

This innocent woman spent more than four decades in prison, making her the longest known,

wrongfully incarcerated woman in the United States. This is the Sandra Heem story.

Music Sandra Heem's story.

Well, now you said longest. I'm, I covered a case and I swear, oh, it was longest in her state.

Do you remember Patty Pruitt I covered and I think she was incarcerated also for like 40 years? Yeah, no, this one is, I'm positive that

I mean, four decades. Oh, I mean, it was, you know, either way, it's, it's very long. But yeah, I remember, I think, you know what?

normal way but I that's how I drink when I drink tea I do it the way you just did but it's a thing

it's a thing that's okay sorry okay for uh anyone who's not seeing us oh yeah that's, that's true. All right, so this is our December

exclusive episode. So we're rounding out the year here. I can't believe it. Did you pick it

because it was so cheery and jolly? Oh, no. Actually, you know what? Compared to some of the

cases we cover, there's a happy ending at least.

Okay. I don't want to ruin anything, but I know Sandra's name, but I can't place it. I feel like I just can't place this one yet. Well, there was so little media coverage on this case. In fact, I almost didn't cover it because I felt like I didn't have enough to fill a whole episode. but I also felt that this case was so important

because it highlights an issue that I don't think enough to fill a whole episode. But I also felt that this case was so important
