Temporada 1, episódio 1

1. Ghost Stories

Stories about a ghostly young woman appearing in and around Sand Lake, New York, have persisted for generations. Those who tell the stories, whether they’ve seen the specter themselves or heard it secondhand, believe it’s the ghost of Hazel Drew, who was mysteriously murdered and found floating in a pond there in 1908. For some, the ghost stories have inspired a quest to solve her murder. For others, they've spurred creativity: The story of Hazel Drew’s ghost became an inspiration for the hit television series “Twin Peaks.” Learn more about your ad choices.

2. Pond Mystery

A peek back into the Times Union newspaper archives reveals a wealth of information about the investigation into Hazel Drew’s murder in the summer of 1908. But no official records remain, and all the players, from investigators to potential suspects, are long dead. Sand Lake Town Historian Bob Moore and retired Rensselaer County resident Mark Marshall spent years researching the case and trying to figure out what happened. But without anything official from law enforcement — something very unlikely at this point — they can do little more than theorize about what happened at Teal’s Pond more than a century ago.

3. Come to Troy

The upstate New York city where Hazel Drew was living and working was a booming center of industry at the Eastern Terminus of the Erie Canal in the early 20th century. But it was also a roiling stew of political corruption and resistance to the momentum of social change in the Progressive Era. Life could be very challenging for a young woman trying to make her way in this damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

4. Family Ties

As the investigation into Hazel Drew’s murder began in July of 1908, investigators ran into roadblocks in the form of her family members, who either didn’t know, or would not reveal information about her life. And it may have been the key to solving the case. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

More than 15 years ago, Katie Bonesteel was a waitress at a Red Robin Restaurant in upstate New York. She was in her first weeks on the job, and she wasn’t yet sure of herself.

Days later, Katie was called in to talk to New York State Police, only to discover that she was one of the last people to see Jaliek before he vanished. Learn more about your ad choices.

1. The Crash

On October 6, 2018, a white Ford Excursion stretch limousine barreled down a hill in Schoharie, New York. Going 100 miles per hour, it plowed through an intersection and into the parking lot of a busy country restaurant. It slammed into a parked car before crashing violently into a ditch. All 17 passengers, the driver, and 2 bystanders died. For those who witnessed the crash, the specter of that white blur will haunt them forever. Learn more about your ad choices.

5. The Third Degree and the Fourth Estate

In 1908, the idea of law enforcement as an investigatory body hadn’t quite caught on. Police forces were more brute squad than Sherlock Holmes. Corruption among the ranks of law and order was rampant, and criminal confessions were often coerced, leading to the prosecution of innocents. The investigation of Hazel Drew’s murder case was an arduous task for the Rensselaer County district attorney and his skeleton crew of detectives, who lacked technology, experience, and defense against intense pressure from the media to solve the crime.

3. Devil in the Details

As the investigation into the limo crash unfolds, major bureaucratic failures begin to emerge. The limo failed multiple inspections, received multiple out of service violations, and was ordered off the road three times before the crash. Yet somehow, it still had a valid registration, and was still on the road. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

3. A Boy's Life

Jaliek Rainwalker’s life was not an easy one. Born to a drug- and alcohol-addicted mother, he was placed in foster care immediately. He would live with 5 foster families before he landed with Jocelyn McDonald and Stephen Kerr, the Washington County couple that adopted him in 2003. He was diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, a behavioral condition that makes it hard for children to form attachments to caregivers. It can result in violent outbursts and erratic behavior, something that his last two foster families said was too much to handle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
