Summary

In this two-part miniseries, we cover the case of a young woman killed in a parking-lot shooting Atlanta, GA in 1995--and how her death is now overshadowed by a local legend. We talk to the friends who were with her at the time, interview law enforcement, and discuss where her case stands today. The host was experiencing a bout chronic laryngitis at the time of recording, so apologies for a rougher vocal performance.

0:29.9	the car and what it really started at.
0:33.9	They tried to make it seem as if we were in the middle of the road being in disturbance
0:38.7	and stuff like that.
0:40.1	Those were details that weren't even true.
