Please enjoy this eye-opening and fascinating interview with someone who has done so many incredible things and continues to serve her community.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
· Meeting Lt. Joe Kenda.
· Why is she so interested in cold cases?
· The Steven Avery case.
· The Rebecca Gould murder. Was her killer a serial killer? All the missteps of the original detectives and how she overcame those errors.
· Why does she still communicate with her murderer?
· Her company, Break The Case.org.
· The Debbie Sue Williamson case.
· What is her criteria for taking a case?
· Forensic and investigative science has never been better. Why are clearances not keeping up with the science?
· What’s in the future of cold cases? DNA keeps getting better, and perhaps using AI as a tool, not a replacement for humans.
