A few notes!  
This episode pairs best with Episode 103: American Nightmare Pt 1 - The Boyfriend, Episode 104: American Nightmare Pt 2 - Gone Girl, and Episode 92: The Kidnapping of Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins American Nightmare is a Netflix production and we don't claim any of it because it's not ours! Caro recaps episode 3 of Netflix's American Nightmare series on the Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins case from 2015.  We didn't know American Nightmare was being released and it's a unique opportunity to examine Netflix's documentary telling of the case with Sara's episode as a guide/our base of knowledge.  We hope you find this deviation from our normal content engaging!
