S2 Episode 36, The Dogwood Tree

Just a little update. 

In this episode, Anna follows a trail of overlooked details—newspaper clippings, archived files, and a name buried in an old contact list—that led us to a hidden connection between two key figures. What began as a quiet hunch became a pivotal piece of the larger puzzle. You’ll hear how Anna's research unfolded in real time, and how every small clue helped bring a buried link to light.   To donate, please visit the link below:   https://ko-fi.com/neworleansunsolved

Anna receives some long awaited documents, uncovering a lead she never expected. A conversation she thought impossible finally happens, revealing critical new information. But just as the pieces start falling into place, a new discovery shifts the investigation.

No one's the villain in their own story.

In this episode Anna gives updates from leads she has been tracking down. Anna also has a meeting that doesn't get the results she was hoping for. However, a new lead that brings new information comes to light. You know what they say, when one door closes, another door opens.

I know I've been quiet. Here's an update before the next episode. 

A small detail revealed in a recent  interview connects back to information from season one, bridging the gap between two criminals. The Eddie Wells case continues to be the nexus in every leg of the investigation. 

In this episode Anna focuses on two of the men convicted in Troop 137. More information comes to the surface that leads to implications of a cover-up , conspiracy or blackmail on a much larger scale. You'll also hear from an individual that witnessed the theft of an important recurring item. 

This is the second half of episode 29. After you listen I think you'll understand why I had to break this up into two parts. Out of all the information I've received during this six year investigation, this is the most shocking so far. Every time I think it can't get worse, it does.  

This is a two part episode. The second part will come out tomorrow night at midnight. "A secret is a kind of promise ... It can also be a prison." –Jennifer Lee Carrell
