Gina Bos Part 2: "Do I Think I Know Who Killed Her? Yes."

Eighteen years after Regina "Gina" Bos vanished outside Duggan's Pub in Lincoln, Nebraska, Detective Greg Sorensen said on the record: "Do I think I know who killed her? Yes." Then, in the same conversation: "We don't have enough probable cause to arrest somebody." This episode is built around the gap between those two statements.Gina Bos — a 40-year-old single mother of three and musician — walked out of an open mic on October 17, 2000, and was never seen again. Her car was found across the street. Her guitar, which she never left unattended, sat in a trunk that never closed. No body. No crime scene. No footage — the pub's cameras were off that night.In Part 2 of this series, with new interview audio from Gina's sister Jannel Rap, founder of the GINA for Missing Persons FOUNDation, we examine:Why the open trunk reframes every piece of physical evidence in the caseThe four structural conditions that have shaped this investigation for 25 yearsWhat "probable cause" actually means — and why a detective who believes he knows the answer still can't make an arrestState v. Keadle: the Nebraska Supreme Court ruling proving murder can be prosecuted without a bodyHow Jannel turned the worst night of her search into a foundation that has helped find more than 3,000 missing people — while her own sister's case stays openGina's case is the oldest unsolved missing persons case at the Lincoln Police Department. Nebraska law is not the wall. The evidence is the wall.
