Episode notes
The Clumsy, Televised Attack
- Shane Stant wandered into the practice rink and clubbed Nancy Kerrigan above the knee with a collapsible police baton before bursting through plexiglass doors.
- The assailants bungled basics (no masks, bad getaway, sloppy planning) and left obvious traces that rapidly unraveled their plot.
The 'Enhance' Myth And The Shroud Of Detroit
- Media and police relied on technological promises like "enhance" to solve the case, producing a famously useless "shroud of Detroit" image.
- The episode shows how overconfidence in techno-solutions and cinematic tropes (zoom, enhance) can mislead investigations.
A Small-Money Scheme Turned Violent
- Jeff Gillooly and Shawn Eckhart hatched a plan after Tonya complained about unfair judging, discussing threats then physical harm to remove Nancy from competition.
- They recruited Derek Smith and Shane Stant, who accepted $2,500 to carry out the kneecap-style attack.
