| 0:00.0 | It has to be some common sense. |
| 0:23.6 | Yes, sir. They have the car stopped intended to crash, Michael By the fire. |
| 0:27.6 | We still don't know who pulled the trigger. Hello everyone and welcome to Police Off the Cuff Real Crime Stories. |
| 0:55.4 | I'm your host, Bill Cannon, retired NYPD sergeant, 27-year veteran. |
| 1:00.3 | We have a really interesting show for you tonight. |
| 1:03.2 | Now, the Idaho four case, of course, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonzalez, |
| 1:14.8 | and I'm missing the last, Zana Connoodle. |
