Join us, as we examine the murder of Genai Coleman, a teacher and mother who was gunned down in a shopping mall parking lot.
You’ll hear how detectives spent two years chasing a case that always seemed just out of reach.
And how one piece of DNA gave them what looked like an ironclad case… until a twist so strange, it felt more like a dream than real life.
