Episode description
A woman is murdered in a quiet Iowa town, leaving the community stunned and suspicion quickly falls on someone close to her. But as the investigation unfolded, one question lingered: were the clues leading detectives down the right path?
This episode was recorded before a wonderful crowd at the Rhythm City Casino in Davenport, IA.
Victim: Cynthia Borton
Location: Shenandoah, IA
Episode title submitted by: Emma Koetz
Correction note from Dawn (SPOILER ALERT!):
I misspoke regarding the timeline the day of the murder. The killer was not waiting for Cynthia's son to leave for school; he was only waiting for John to go back to work after lunch.
