TCC #18 The Murder of Kristin Smart, Part 1

We are BACK, finally! After a nearly five month hiatus, Cindy is back with a doozy of a case! The murder of Kristin Smart is something most Californians of a certain age at least know about, remember, and often mourn, as it was huge news in many communities, especially as it took over 20 years to solve. Cindy dives into this horrific case of a wonderful young woman murdered by a classmate and all but forgotten by negligent police, who bungled the case for over 20 years while her family waited for closure. This case is angering, upsetting, sad, and finally at least somewhat satifsying, thanks in very large part to the work of another podcaster, Chris Lambert, who researched and reported on this case 20+ years after the fact, which in turn brought it back into the spotlight, and finally got the family some answers.This case will be presented in two parts, with the conclusion available next week.
