The Six
In 1989, three people confessed to participating in a murder. Eventually, a total of six people were arrested. But when DNA tests were run on crime scene evidence almost 20 years later - the results showed that none of them had been there at all.
This episode picks up where our last episode left off. If you haven't heard the first part yet - we recommend going back and listening to that first. It’s called Type B.

Customer Reviews
And I’ve actually listened twice!
I enjoy your podcast immensely. Not Judy the subject matter but your voice is easy listening, your style is not annoying, and you’re telling a tale, unlike many others who’re displaying their hilarious daily antics and relationship jokes being laughing friends going on and on while we are supposed to find that entertaining. Phoebe? I’d like to thank you for not swearing, not compelled to add colorful language! I’m pleased to follow you. Though I cannot pay subscription fees (I’m on disability in my mid-60’s) though your podcast is very reasonable. I wish you well
Nonsensical Questions
