Hey, Hollywood and Crime fans, on behalf of everyone at Wondry, we wanted to thank you for listening.

The next episode of The Cotton Club Murder is coming out next week, but in the meantime,

there's another series you should check out called Suspect. In October 2008, the residents of the

Valley View apartment complex in Redmond, Washington held a Halloween party. Dozens of people

in costume mingled, drank, and danced, but before the night was over,

one of them was murdered.

The police had a suspect.

His story kept changing.

His DNA was at the crime scene.

And when he finally came in for questioning, the detectives felt they were a breath away

from a confession, but that never

happened. So the police focused their attention on another man, a man with a criminal record,

whose DNA was also found of the crime scene, and he just so happened to be the only black man

at the party. Suspect is a true crime miniseries about cutting-edge forensic science and

mislaid justice.

It's about race and policing, and ultimately the kinds of weighty decisions that cops and

prosecutors make every day, decisions that once made change lies forever and are almost impossible

to reverse. You're about to hear the first episode of suspect.. You can binge all 10 episodes of Suspect exclusively

and ad-free on Wondery Plus. Start your free trial in the Wondery app, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify today,

and thanks for listening.
