Episode notes
Stephanie's Remarkable Resilience
- Stephanie, who raised missing girl Zianna, showed remarkable resilience during the tragic search and eventual confrontation with the killer.
- Despite receiving devastating news, she remained resolute and pursued justice through correspondence with the murderer.
Early Night Grid Searches
- Nighttime grid searches, such as using torches, were impressive techniques for 1875 and reflect early tactical search efforts.
- Visibility is much lower at night, but searches proceed when a person is deemed at risk, showing urgency even historically.
Custom Weapon Indicates Planning
- The presence of a custom-made three-foot club indicates offender premeditation and possibly a weapon intended for attack.
- Carrying such a weapon shows the offender planned the crime rather than impulsively attacking.
