Summary
This episode details the aftermath of Anthony DePippo’s acquittal and his $12 million settlement with Putnam County for wrongful imprisonment. The narrative exposes police misconduct that ignored evidence pointing to Howard Gombert, a convicted sex offender who remains the prime suspect in Josette Wright’s murder. As Gombert nears release, the hosts reveal his threatening letters to victims and introduce new evidence linking him to the 1995 disappearance of Robin Murphy, setting the stage for the next season.
