What this episode covers

In the 1970s, Jeannette DePalma's body was found atop a 40-foot bluff called the Devil's Teeth in the wooded outskirts of Springfield Township, New Jersey. One officer who discovered her remains claimed that inverted crosses surrounded her, and tree branches formed the shape of a coffin around her body. Amid the Satanic Panic, local news outlets proposed that a ritualistic, sacrificial murder had taken place. Popular opinion believed the narrative, but did the Satanic Panic cause irreparable damage to Jeannette DePalma's case? To add insult to injury, journalists also discovered police lied about Jeannette's case file being destroyed during Hurricane Floyd. Key crime scene evidence had gone missing, but how? Allegations of a police cover-up unfolded. And it soon became no surprise that Jeannette's case had gone cold. The big question remained: was it incompetence, or was it intentional?
