147: Delayed Justice: Joyce Ann Brown Corpus Delicti

Joyce Ann Brown was shocked to open the newspaper and see her name wanted in connection with a recent robbery and murder at a competing fur store 3 miles from the one where she worked. She goes down to the police station to clear her name, only to find out there's another Joyce Ann Brown connected to the case. How do you clear up such a misunderstanding? Or can you?
