Whoever said it's darkest just before the dawn knew what they were talking about. I go to work early. You could say I go to work so early it might be considered late. It's dark out too. I can't decide if the headlights in my car are getting worse or if that's my eyesight. It's not the quickest route by any chance, but a lot of mornings lately I've been taking Collins boulevard, coming down 190 toward our studios in Covington. And as I come through here, of course the area has changed dramatically since then, but I can still of course identify where Roxanne's body was found. As I pass that point, I'll say something silently to myself or either sometimes out loud. We're working on it. Stefan's gonna figure this out. It won't take much longer. And then I'm past.

But Stephen Montgomery has been very clear that this is an uphill battle and the longer it goes, the harder it's going to be to pull off. But I also know that investigator. I feel like I've gotten to know him quite and there's no give up in that guy. So even as I question whether this is gonna work, here we are a year and a half down the road from the start of the podcast. I sit here and wonder what's next? Will anything ever happen? And then something did.
