8 | The Story Keeps Changing

Following years in the hands of the Louisiana State Police with no actionable progress, new Washington Parish Sheriff Jason Smith announced he has regained control of Donna Arceneuax's case. In this bonus episode, Sheriff Smith elaborates on his plans for the case in an exclusive interview with Tucker. 

A suspect's story keeps changing, and the truth remains elusive. Tucker makes another attempt to speak with Scott, driven by details from sources and a need to understand the discrepancies that have surfaced. As the podcast inches closer to the truth, each conversation adds another layer of complexity to an already tangled case.

As public interest in Donna's case grew, it became a frequent topic in the ongoing campaign for sheriff. It caught the attention of the Louisiana State Police, and they took action—but we quickly discovered that they weren't the only ones attempting to work the case. 

As Tucker's investigation goes public, he approaches several key players for their take on Donna's case before his anonymity is erased. 

Donna's brother TJ takes Tucker door-knocking to track down evidence Donna told him about years earlier, and they get a massive lead. After failed attempts to reach Captain Anderson, Tucker's meeting with Sheriff Randy Seal takes an interesting turn. 

Evidence of overwhelming control over Donna has been found, startling details suggesting a motive are revealed, and elusive individuals finally come forward as Tucker's investigation continues.

Donna had a history of regular visits to the local hospital - those records uncover a completely new theory in her death. While trying to make contact with Clay, Tucker finally reaches Donna's spiritual counselor, and she doesn't hold back. 

Donna was a mother, a sister, a daughter. Her upbringing was anything but ordinary and those experinces influenced every decision she made. But does any of that matter, and is it relevant to her murder?
