Truth & Justice with Bob Ruff

Bob is joined by Mr. Alex Campbell. Alex is a High School Sociology Teacher in Tennessee, who challenged his class to solve a 30 year old cold case. The results were absolutely incredible. His students developed a profile of the killer, and drew attention to the case, which was an integral part in solving the case known as "The Red Head Murders". Alex and his class were featured on the podcast "Murder 101". The story is fascinating. Just as fascinating is hearing Alex explain his philosophy on teaching today's youth.

In part 11 of The Prosecutors' series, Brett and Alice aim to discredit any theories or elements of the case that could lead away from a guilty narrative. The plot points on this one are: 1. The reliability of incoming calls. 2. When did Jay tell Jenn about the murder? 3. Was there a pay phone at Best Buy? 4. Did Jay lead the police to Hae's car? And 5. Did Jay and Adnan visit Kristi Vinson on the night of the murder? This is part of their "process of elimination" approach to leaving you with no other options besides a guilty Adnan. Bob addresses every element and easily points out the flaws in The Prosecutors' arguments.

This is Jay Wilds' second official recorded interview. The interview took place on March 15, 1999. Two weeks after Adnan Syed's arrest. In this interview Jay has been present with a map of cell tower locations, and the call logs from 1/13/99. Here Jay's story completely changes from his first official interview on 2/28/99. The benefit of the audio as opposed to the transcript is that you can hear the long pauses. You can hear the detectives tapping on something. And if you listen really closely, you can actually hear them writing things down during some of those pauses.
