| 0:00.0 | In the suburbs of D.C., a woman fails to show up for work and is found brutally murdered. |
| 0:06.1 | I wonder which emergency. |
| 0:07.4 | We just walked in the door, and there's blood in the foyer. |
| 0:10.6 | For the next two decades, the case remained unsolved until new technology allowed investigators to do what had once been impossible. |
| 0:19.0 | A new series from ABC Audio in 2020, blood and water. Listen now, |
| 0:26.2 | wherever you get your podcasts. Hi there, everybody. Welcome to 2020 The After Show. So good to have you |
| 0:35.9 | with us, as always. I'm Deborah Roberts, and |
| 0:38.4 | as we always do, we're going to dig a little deeper into our most recent episode of 2020. |
