Murdered: Kristin O'Connell (Part 5) "If"

This is the 5th part in a series.
Today, we’re talking about more twists and turns in a 37-year-long investigation. Plus, DNA, mishandled evidence, and advocacy.

Correction: The forensic lab that offered to test evidence in 2021 was not a New York-permitted lab. This has been corrected in the audio of this episode. I apologize for the error.

This is Kristin’s story, told by those who are fighting for her.
Thank you to Jolynn Rice, founder of Cold Case Advocacy.
