| 0:00.0 | Talking about the West Memphis 3, |
| 0:06.7 | why would guilty people want to test the DNA? |
| 0:12.5 | On today's show, stay tuned. |
| 0:15.7 | Thank you. You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime. |
| 0:43.0 | From New York City, Roberta Glass is now on the record. |
