Fuck the 4 judges who voted against Scott and Springsteen and nearly kept them in prison.  The state probably would have proudly and gleefully executed them, too.

They kinda excuted one of the four.

No one has every heard of Dean Corll and his henchmen Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks?

Yeah, I commented about The Heights kidnappings/murders on another thread a while ago. I think that’s way more haunting and fucked up than The Yogurt Shop Murders. It’s also another commentary on incompetent law enforcement, as Houston PD seemed to have largely written off the disappearances as runaways and never did much of any real investigation.

Polanco is also the detective who extracted a false confession out of Christopher Ochoa for the rape and murder of Pizza Hut employee Nancy DePriest in 1988. That confession was used to convict both Ochoa and his friend Richard Danziger despite Danziger's consistent protestation that both were innocent and he had no idea why his friend had confessed.

The first red flag in the documentary was Polanco’s stated claim of having no unsolved cases. It reeked of ego, forced confessions, and fixing cases in order to maintain that fictional stat.

The dude who is currently working the cold case file claimed the exact same thing.

Well, the impressive failure of the time capsule was a perfect metaphor for the whole shit.

Sure hope Claire made some $, since she did 75% of the work. 

I recognized one of the ladies that was there for the time capsule and it turns out she was one of Amy’s best friends. I had no idea.

Yup. Thought the same thing. Especially back in the 70s/80s/early 90s.

I've seen that same red flag in other cases.

The first cold case detective is dead fucking set on trying to prove he solved the case.  like his entire lifes work is invalidated if it turns out his investigation was flawed,

 

Ive never seen a cop try so hard to explain away DNA evidence.   I understand the original first thought of "contamination", but its been 25 fucking years since he thought he solved the case, 15 years since the DNA evidence showed another person.... and now we find out that the APD cold case squad has at least 3 different samples that all came back and matched the same unknown male.

 

at that point its fucking clear either a 5th person was involved with the boys.... or someone completely unrelated to them was involved.  and you figure after 30 years where none of the boys every mentioned a 5th person, you have to assume theres another fucking person out there.

 

i guess its impossible to do what the Golden State Killer investiagation did by using DNA to track down familial lines...  sounds like the Y DNA isnt something that gets uploaded on its own.
