Criminal Escalation and Community Concerns

Blayne Alexander and Dennis Murphy sit down to discuss Dennis’s episode “Out There in the Dark.” After Brandy Daniels was found gunned down inside her car in the driveway of her home in Zanesville, Ohio, investigators quickly zeroed in on a pair of suspects. But it would take years to bring them to justice for the murder. Blayne and Dennis discuss what led one of the suspects to crack, and play an extra clip from Dennis’s interview with the girlfriend of the other suspect. Plus, they answer questions from social media and talk about burner phones, exotic animals, Harry Potter, and Dennis’s parka.
