Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, D'Lia Diambra. And the case I'm going to share with you today

takes place in Stone Mountain Park in Georgia. This recreation space is located about 40 minutes northeast

of Atlanta and is roughly 3,200 acres. In addition to having plenty of trails and picnic areas,

there are also a lot of other unique

things to check out, including an old mill, several historic structures, and a granite quarry that

to date has reportedly produced more than 7.6 million cubic feet of granite from the depths

of Stone Mountain. During the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, which were held in Atlanta,

archery and cycling athletes who were competing for top spots in their sports used a meadow in

the park to facilitate their games. Today, that same plot of ground where arrows once flew fast

and bikes bound over the earth is the songbird habitat and trail for the park.

It's kind of wild to think about the juxtaposition of those two scenes.

One year, the area is this crowded Olympic sports venue,

and just a few decades later, it's been transformed into a nature sanctuary teeming with wildlife.

I suppose that's how it should work, though.

Humans use a park like Stone Mountain for a specific purpose, then clear out, and after

some time, Mother Nature does her thing.

Nature always finds a way to balance back out.

And I feel the same way about justice, especially when it comes to the case I'm going to tell you about in this episode.

It's been 20 years since someone committed an unspeakable act against an employee of Stone Mountain Park.

And I, for one, believe it's high time the scales of justice are balanced.
