59. Murdered: Kristin O’Connell (Pt 4) Hope

This is the 4th part in a series. Please listen to episodes 56, 57 & 58 first.

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”― Elie Wiesel

In part 4; another tip comes in years after Kristin’s murder, what the crime scene may say about the killer, the possibility that this was a random killing, and how a hidden file may reveal more than just an incompetent investigator.

This is Kristin’s story, told by those who are fighting for her.
