On Saturday, May 27 1978, a thunderstorm lashed the U.S. state of Missouri. In the northwest city of St Joseph, hundreds of locals braced the cold, wet weather to trudge through the wooded banks of the Missouri River, beyond the railroad on the city’s western edge. They were searching for something. Their path led beyond the well-worn walking tracks and into the dense foliage, where muddy conditions made for a hazardous trek.

From 20:15, don't you mean "plead NOT guilty by reason of insanity" instead of "guilty"?

Wow! What a heartbreaking case of so many missed opportunities to catch this evil predator. Well done to the research team!

“They checked, double-checked and checked again to make sure they had the right man.” Why do I get a feeling that this isn’t true?

I had to rewind and re-listen to the bit about the police chief at the end. What an unreal story.
