| 0:55.0 | By now, you've heard so many names. Friends, family, neighbors, suspects. |
| 0:59.0 | I've been managing it all with this big spreadsheet to help me navigate this complicated and just strange story. |
| 1:07.0 | And yet, as organized as I have tried to make this, it's still proven to be a challenge, |
