The Hand in the Window. Remember, you can get new episodes early if you follow The Hand in the Window for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast app.

Now, here's the episode.

Hey, I'm Brad Milkey.

I'm a reporter at ABC News.

I host our daily news podcast, start here.

And today, we've got a special edition of The Hand in the Window for you.

I'm sitting here with our host, John Cignonas, for a really interesting

story. So I would like you to take us back to the fall of 2016 when Sean Great first mentions

this unidentified victim. He's in jail after being arrested for kidnapping, rape, two murders.

And Detective Kim Major asked

if there's anything else he wants to get off his chest, and he says there is.

I'm thinking her name is Dana. I totally forget her name after a while, Dana.

I think her name is Dana.

So chilling to hear.

I guess what else came out in this interview?

You know, Brad, it's a riveting series about a vicious serial killer in Ohio and a female detective, a woman detective who got him to confess.

Detective Kim Major, as you mentioned, spent hours with the killer, Sean Gray,
