On episode six of the Springfield Three we uncover what went wrong in the investigation. To be perfectly clear, there are a lot of folks in Springfield’s law enforcement that want nothing more than to solve this case.

And then there’s the scene of the disappearance...

0:40.4 | And I think what was frustrating for people is get to the point in every investigation |
0:47.0 | is this way. |
