| 0:00.0 | Content warning. This episode includes discussion of murder, stalking, rape, and suicide. |
| 0:07.3 | Today on the cheat sheet we're going to be discussing cases from both of our home states, Indiana for Kevin and New York for me, as well as from |
| 0:17.1 | Michigan and Missouri, California, and Arizona. |
| 0:21.3 | So we're going to be going all around the place looking at some of these cases. I think a few touch upon the issue of stalking. |
| 0:28.0 | And in addition to that, just as a reminder, sheet is an opportunity for us to sort of go through some of the headlines, go through some of the cases people are following, and either revisit cases that we've already covered, or perhaps look at a new case and kind of give you our thoughts. So that's all in store coming up now in the |
| 0:46.0 | murder sheet. My name is Anya Kane. I'm a journalist. And I'm Kevin Greenley. I'm an attorney. |
| 0:53.0 | And this is the Murder Sheet. |
| 0:55.0 | We're a true crime podcast focused on original reporting, interviews, and deep dives into murder cases. |
| 1:01.0 | We're The murder sheet. |
| 1:03.7 | And this is the cheat sheet, outbreaks and obsessions. So, Oh, To start off with we're going to take a case that we've covered pretty extensively and this is the murder of course of |

| 2:16.6 | And it's a horrifying and tragic case, but it's a case that closure of some kind or at least answers may be on the horizon because two men |
| 2:27.3 | were arrested for it relatively recently. This was a cold case that |
| 2:31.5 | seemingly might be solved by DNA. |
| 2:33.6 | So the two defendants facing murder charges in this are John Wayne Lehman and Fred Bandy. |
| 2:38.9 | Bandy has a criminal record and was convicted on child molestation charges in the past. |
| 2:44.0 | Lehman does not seem to have a record. |
| 2:47.0 | And the reason we're covering this again is because there's been some interesting activity that a helpful listener flagged with us so thank you to them. |
| 2:56.1 | And this is from May 20th, 2024, so just a few days ago, |
