Summary

Episode 7, Left For Dead, uncovers troubling gaps in the investigation of Victor Newberry’s mysterious 2014 death. Two days after Victor was found next to his running vehicle, a stranger entered the sheriff’s office claiming he had been with Victor at his car on the night he died. Yet the audio and video recording of that interview is missing from police files. Why was Victor’s wallet lying on the ground beside him? With more questions than answers, this episode highlights the inconsistencies and overlooked evidence that continue to cloud the case of the Glen Ullin bartender.
