1
00:00:24,709 --> 00:00:26,110
So, tell me the story.

2
00:00:27,710 --> 00:00:32,170
I'm sitting here at my desk, you know,
fucking investigating voter suppression,

3
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:37,090
and fuck if I don't look in my inbox and
there's a tip that comes into our

4
00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:38,150
anonymous tip line.

5
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:42,330
Hello, my name is Eileen Umber.

6
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:45,950
I wanted to know if you might be
interested in uncovering the truth about

7
00:00:45,950 --> 00:00:46,950
a double homicide.

8
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:51,730
I've talked to strangers on airplanes.
I've written to anybody and everybody I

9
00:00:51,730 --> 00:00:56,430
can think of. It was a breathless email
from a housewife in the tiny town of

10
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:57,430
Alma, Kansas.

11
00:00:57,610 --> 00:01:02,030
I haven't a fucking clue where Alma,
Kansas is, but I got a pretty good sense

12
00:01:02,030 --> 00:01:03,030
of who this lady is.

13
00:01:04,269 --> 00:01:09,110
She was, by her own account, a
stay-at-home mom who had raised four

14
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:14,110
boys and who now spent much of her time
in her rural ranch house in her pajamas.

15
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:20,540
And even from 2,000 miles away, one
detected the whiff of a true crime

16
00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:21,540
obsessive.

17
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:28,220
She wanted to tell me about a grave
injustice.

18
00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:30,400
Of course she did.

19
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,280
The truth has not yet been told, and I
believe journalism is Dana Chandler's

20
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,280
only hope.

21
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:42,600
I spent 25 years as a reporter and
editor at the New York Times and the

22
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,420
investigative independent outfit.

23
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:49,080
ProPublica. I'd have a hand in a fistful
of Pulitzer prizes.

24
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:54,320
So I've been at the news racket long
enough to appreciate that one ignores an

25
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,520
anonymous tip at one's peril.

26
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,580
I figure, what the fuck, I'll Google the
case.

27
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:07,240
Pajama Lady wanted to tell me about a
double homicide in Topeka back in 2002.

28
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:17,820
Couple. slain in their bedroom in the
dead of night karen harkness daughter of

29
00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:23,400
a big-time topeka businessman and mike
cisco the divorced father of two kids

30
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,580
crime scene was tough stuff 11 bullets
all hit

31
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:36,460
wounds nose to toes it wasn't a burglary
money been left around karen

32
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:37,560
was still wearing her jewelry

33
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,060
There was no DNA, no fingerprints, no
eyewitnesses.

34
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:47,900
But virtually every family member the
cops talked to offered the same theory.

35
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:50,500
Mike's ex-wife.

36
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,180
He had an ex-wife that was a real
problem. The ex-wife just left my mind.

37
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Mike's ex-wife, a woman named Dana
Chandler, might be the killer.

38
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,340
Mike and Dana had been married for 15
years, but after they divorced...

39
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:12,580
Dana was described as a crazy, bitter ex
who had lost the custody fight over

40
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:13,580
their two children.

41
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:17,100
The authorities in Topeka were convinced
Dana was the killer.

42
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Justice followed.

43
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:21,320
Dana is arrested and tried.

44
00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:25,040
The jury took just 83 minutes to
convict.

45
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,020
We, the jury, find the defendant guilty
of the crime of murder in the first

46
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:30,020
degree as charged.

47
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Consecutive life terms, no possibility
of parole for 100 years.

48
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:43,460
Jealous ex kills her husband and his new
girlfriend.

49
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,220
Case solved as far as I was concerned.

50
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,880
So I decided I didn't have time for a
pajama lady in Kansas.

51
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,720
And so I wrote her a polite note with an
impolite answer.

52
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:56,640
Thanks, but no thanks.

53
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Good luck with your pursuit of justice.

54
00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:04,780
I don't know whether she didn't get the
fucking message, she didn't pick up on

55
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:05,499
the hint.

56
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,140
She doesn't stop fucking writing me.

57
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:09,040
Ten emails a week.

58
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:10,800
None for two weeks.

59
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:12,440
25 in a day.

60
00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:14,740
It was a crazy assortment of shit.

61
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:20,200
Dear Joe, here is a link to the video
of... Dear Joe, did you know that the

62
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,760
lead prosecutor... She's got, like,
court records and ballistics reports and

63
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,400
property records. I'm like, I don't know
whether to call the cops on her or

64
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,400
fucking hire her.

65
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:35,300
I'd like to say I opened the mall, but I
can't. Never even picked up the phone to

66
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:36,109
call her.

67
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:39,050
Barely even acknowledged receiving them
beyond a smug.

68
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:42,170
Fascinating, or... I'll be sure to look.

69
00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:45,850
I started to refer to her as Pen Pal.

70
00:04:46,430 --> 00:04:52,250
But then, after two years of these
endless fucking emails, Pen Pal sent me

71
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,390
email number 2714.

72
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:58,590
Dear Joe.

73
00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:01,210
And I had the dumb luck to have opened
it.

74
00:05:01,470 --> 00:05:05,330
Dana Chandler's convictions had just
been overturned.

75
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,100
I've done all manner of crime stories.

76
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,960
State murder convictions overturned.
Shit doesn't happen every day.

77
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,260
And the lady was still in prison. They
were going to retry her.

78
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,820
And for once, two and a half years into
our one-way correspondence, I composed a

79
00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:24,300
note of more than three words.

80
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,600
It was six words.

81
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:29,140
Perhaps I should come see you.

82
00:06:39,790 --> 00:06:44,970
I'd arrived on the Great Plains, fueled
by the reporter's trademark cocktail of

83
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:46,450
adrenaline and dread.

84
00:06:50,890 --> 00:06:54,850
I really had no idea what I'd find other
than a housewife who seemed alternately

85
00:06:54,850 --> 00:06:56,170
brilliant and deranged.

86
00:06:56,910 --> 00:06:57,930
Oh, and her husband.

87
00:06:58,590 --> 00:06:59,750
He's part of this, too.

88
00:07:01,490 --> 00:07:05,890
Together, they've made this murder case
their obsession, their life's calling.

89
00:07:06,190 --> 00:07:11,300
Ever since I was a little girl, For some
reason, I was interested in true crime

90
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:12,300
stories.

91
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:13,780
Did they have a motive?

92
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:18,120
Actually, they had a fight, so this is
why they suspected him. Well, you'll

93
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,120
see.

94
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,880
I try to glean from the show's tips,
leads, how did they solve it?

95
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:30,180
At 1.30 in the morning, Kevin Green left
the apartment for a hamburger at a fast

96
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:31,180
food restaurant.

97
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480
I think crime interests us all.

98
00:07:35,820 --> 00:07:41,220
I think we're all voyeuristic in a
sense. When a crime happens, we want to

99
00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:44,680
know that they got the bad guy and
there's justice for the victims.

100
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,880
But in the case of who killed Mike and
Karen, that's what we don't have yet.

101
00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:55,920
When they arrested Dana, everybody
believed they got the right person

102
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,920
except for us.

103
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,480
This isn't solved yet. This case is
unresolved.

104
00:08:02,010 --> 00:08:05,910
That's not justice to convict the wrong
person.

105
00:08:06,310 --> 00:08:11,210
I desperately want the families to know
who really killed Mike and Karen.

106
00:08:12,170 --> 00:08:16,950
I get very emotional about this. My
voice goes up, you know, my blood

107
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:21,830
pressure goes up, my hands turn cold,
and I have to ask him to warm my hands.

108
00:08:22,630 --> 00:08:24,310
I can't be calm about this.

109
00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:28,930
I don't know. Anyway, you know, they're
the most earnest fucking people you ever

110
00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:29,930
meet in your life.

111
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:31,170
And they...

112
00:08:31,619 --> 00:08:35,200
Never. How in the world did they get a
search warrant? Ever. If the shirt she's

113
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,280
wearing has no gunshot residue on it,
then she didn't do it. Ever. You take

114
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,559
away the lies, there's nothing left.
Stop talking about the fucking Dana

115
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Chandler case.

116
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:46,760
Like with Dana, you know, they just
assume, oh, you're the ex-wife.

117
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,100
They had no connection to Dana Chandler
when the murders happened or when the

118
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:52,820
case against her was prosecuted.

119
00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:56,240
Did not fucking know her at all.

120
00:08:56,940 --> 00:09:01,080
You can see how it unfolds. And yet,
they've turned their lives over to

121
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,080
proving her innocence.

122
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:06,180
And in the name of Lord Jesus Christ,
Father, I release your blessings upon

123
00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:07,180
Dana Chandler.

124
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,360
Channel her heart like you do channels
of water and lead her to the right

125
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,760
place. Amen.

126
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,600
Tell me a little bit about yourself.

127
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,720
How'd you guys first meet?

128
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,200
First time I saw Eileen, we were in high
school.

129
00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:30,320
I was sitting there with my friend, and
I said, I got to ask that girl out.

130
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,820
He was literally the picture of the guy
that I always dreamed about.

131
00:09:36,340 --> 00:09:41,820
And he used to walk by me in the halls,
and all he'd say was, howdy, this Kansas

132
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:44,760
drawl. And I would just melt into a
puddle.

133
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:48,320
I summoned the courage and asked her
out.

134
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,060
First street we crossed, I grabbed her
hand just instinctively.

135
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,760
We never quit holding hands after that.

136
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,720
What's really exciting about working on
the Dana Chandler case has been it's a

137
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,980
fulfillment, really, of a lifelong
passion. To find ourselves in this

138
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:18,320
situation where we're trying to get to
the bottom of a double homicide, it's

139
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,360
kind of surreal.

140
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:22,840
It was in the summer of 2002.

141
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,840
We got the morning paper and saw the big
headlines.

142
00:10:27,610 --> 00:10:32,470
We're very interested in crime stories
of all nature, and we watch them on the

143
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:36,030
show all the time, and now we have one
in Topeka, Kansas that had a double

144
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:39,250
homicide. I mean, of two people in their
bed, they were assassinated.

145
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:44,310
A normally quiet Topeka neighborhood
turned into a crime scene Sunday

146
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:49,170
afternoon. A mother and father coming to
visit their daughter found her and a man

147
00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:50,830
dead inside the home.

148
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,860
911, what's your emergency?

149
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,940
I've just located my daughter and she's
downstairs and she's dead.

150
00:11:08,180 --> 00:11:13,240
Well, I had tried to raise her by phone
and knocking on the door.

151
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,900
Got no response.

152
00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:19,860
Really was concerned what had happened
here.

153
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:23,740
The patio door was open.

154
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,860
And I just slid it on open.

155
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,220
I thought, they have to be in this house
someplace.

156
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,600
The cars were there.

157
00:11:37,180 --> 00:11:40,100
I started down the stairway to the lower
level.

158
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,680
I could see Karen.

159
00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:47,920
She had been shot several times in the
back.

160
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,300
Then I found Mike between the bed and
the wall.

161
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,280
He had been shot a number of times.

162
00:12:10,540 --> 00:12:15,980
On the night Mike and Karen were killed,
they decided that they would go to the

163
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:16,980
local casino.

164
00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:21,820
Video cameras captured them at different
points.

165
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,260
pouring money into slots, having a
drink.

166
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:31,220
They leave around 1.30, coming home with
almost a grand.

167
00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:35,600
They stop at the gas station, get a cup
of coffee.

168
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,840
They arrive back at Karen's townhouse
sometime before 3.

169
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:44,620
And in many ways, that's the last of
them.

170
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,640
There's no evidence sign of forced
entry.

171
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,980
There's money put out on the table and
in Mike's wallet.

172
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:55,730
It kind of runs against the idea that
this was some kind of robbery.

173
00:12:56,190 --> 00:12:59,490
They discover a shit ton of fucking
shell casings.

174
00:13:00,290 --> 00:13:04,030
Mike was shot seven times through the
gut, back.

175
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:09,330
Karen was shot five times, including
what folks would later come to argue was

176
00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:13,510
some kind of dark grace note shot to her
private parts at the end.

177
00:13:14,070 --> 00:13:15,510
No weapon was found.

178
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:20,530
What was found were Israeli-made
subsonic bullets.

179
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
most commonly fired from an Uzi-style
weapon of war.

180
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,720
That's pretty unusual.

181
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:35,080
When you have signs of overkill, it
tells me, at least, whoever did this

182
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,160
killing was motivated by emotion.

183
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,000
When somebody gets killed, I look at the
inner circle of that person, primarily

184
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
family members.

185
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,960
Then their friends.

186
00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:48,680
And then you want to look at associates.

187
00:13:49,260 --> 00:13:50,840
people they've had contact with.

188
00:13:51,540 --> 00:13:56,200
Your suspect in most homicides is going
to be found within those three rings.

189
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,840
There was one person who seemed to
emerge as a viable suspect, and that was

190
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,480
his ex-wife, Dana Chandler.

191
00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:06,000
Then we're going to go for a hike.

192
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:10,360
Fun. Dana Chandler is a daughter of the
American West.

193
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:13,760
She grows up in New Mexico and
California.

194
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,380
She's from a big family. She's got a
bunch of sisters.

195
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:22,490
By all accounts, she was a beautiful
young woman when she met Mike Sisco.

196
00:14:23,090 --> 00:14:27,390
Mike was described as a guy's guy,
worked for a welding company, and liked

197
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:28,390
to hunt and fish.

198
00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:34,750
They married in 1982, quickly had two
children, a girl, Haley, and then a boy,

199
00:14:34,930 --> 00:14:35,930
Dustin.

200
00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:42,950
But Dana has a drinking problem of, you
know, significance, and it begins

201
00:14:42,950 --> 00:14:45,270
to impair her gifts as a mom.

202
00:14:46,010 --> 00:14:48,190
Her husband is a drinker, too.

203
00:14:49,050 --> 00:14:53,530
There'd be fights and breakups and
reunions, but after 15 years of

204
00:14:53,530 --> 00:14:54,950
marriage, they finally divorced.

205
00:14:55,610 --> 00:14:56,890
It wasn't pretty.

206
00:14:57,190 --> 00:15:02,650
There were claims and counterclaims, but
eventually Mike prevailed. He got Dana

207
00:15:02,650 --> 00:15:07,110
moved out of the house and won custody
of Haley and Dustin, even was awarded

208
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:09,410
child support to be paid by Dana.

209
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,010
When her life...

210
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:18,000
implodes and she loses her children and
her marriage is ended, she does a pretty

211
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,420
good job of picking herself back up.

212
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,000
Goes back to school, gets initially her
college degree.

213
00:15:25,940 --> 00:15:26,940
Congratulations!

214
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,500
Then a master's in accounting.

215
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,980
Maybe most importantly, she gets sober.

216
00:15:35,540 --> 00:15:37,780
But none of that impressed Mike's
family.

217
00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:44,200
They believe Dana never let go of the
anger at having lost Mike and her

218
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,520
children. I understand that there was
some friction between your mom and him.

219
00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:52,520
Did you hear much about that? I was
caught in the middle of it most of the

220
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,520
time. Tell me about that.

221
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:58,140
They didn't get along at all. My mom
hated him, and she would call numerous

222
00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:01,720
times, like at night, like 18 times in a
row.

223
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:08,000
And she didn't like Karen because she
thought that, you know...

224
00:16:08,330 --> 00:16:11,510
i don't know i think she was jealous
because karen got to be with us and

225
00:16:11,510 --> 00:16:16,170
she's not her mom and whatever but she
really really wanted me and dustin to

226
00:16:16,170 --> 00:16:20,450
live there at the time dana chandler
lived in denver colorado she worked as

227
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:26,910
an accountant there that's a solid eight
hour drive from topeka in the days after

228
00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:31,570
the murder she consents to an interview
with detective richard bowley

229
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:39,210
She says that the day before the murders
in Topeka, she runs a number of errands

230
00:16:39,210 --> 00:16:40,890
and then goes to bed.

231
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:48,470
At the time that Mike and Karen are
being killed in Topeka, she's asleep in

232
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:53,430
Denver. She has records that she went to
a supermarket and records that she got

233
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:59,710
gas. And included in those records is a
receipt for the purchase of two five

234
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:01,070
-gallon gas cans.

235
00:17:02,540 --> 00:17:07,099
Except she doesn't disclose that to
Volley in the interview.

236
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:12,180
One of the first subpoenas the police
got was for Dana Chandler's phone

237
00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:13,180
records.

238
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,859
Across 28 hours until the evening after
Mike and Karen have been killed, her

239
00:17:18,859 --> 00:17:19,859
phone is off.

240
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,480
That was enough to develop a theory.

241
00:17:22,940 --> 00:17:27,940
that on the weekend of the murders, Dana
drove from Denver to Topeka, shot Mike

242
00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:32,220
and Karen to death without leaving a
trace, and drove 540 miles back to

243
00:17:32,220 --> 00:17:36,460
Denver without being seen, all thanks to
the gas cans.

244
00:17:37,820 --> 00:17:42,720
And so the police brought what they
regarded as a winnable case to Robert

245
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,960
Heck, the district attorney.

246
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:51,320
None of the investigation was able to
establish that anyone saw

247
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:58,060
Dana Chandler in Topeka the day before,
the day of, or the day after the

248
00:17:58,060 --> 00:17:59,060
homicide.

249
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:06,160
My refusal to file charges against Dana
Chandler created anger and frustration

250
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,520
among members of the police department.

251
00:18:09,020 --> 00:18:13,360
You shouldn't file charges unless you
have sufficient evidence to establish

252
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,480
the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

253
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,880
The prosecutor has the final say. I
mean, it is a frustrating situation.

254
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:21,500
There was evidence there.

255
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:25,500
it may not have been physical evidence
but it's good circumstantial evidence

256
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:30,940
the police department were never able to
establish that dana chandler ever had

257
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:36,260
possession of ammunition never had
possession of a firearm were never able

258
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:43,140
to put her in topeka shawnee county or
kansas so what were the means

259
00:18:43,140 --> 00:18:49,920
and what was the opportunity and he
would say no for years year after year

260
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,090
i don't know how you know If you get a
fucking case, it could be more ice cold.

261
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:59,990
For seven years, police in Kansas have
been stumped by a murder they call

262
00:18:59,990 --> 00:19:01,230
perfectly planned.

263
00:19:01,530 --> 00:19:05,270
There was no forced entry, nothing
stolen, and no signs of a struggle.

264
00:19:06,730 --> 00:19:10,090
Tomorrow night, 48 Hours Mystery will
investigate this murder case.

265
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:13,270
The mystery continues.

266
00:19:14,930 --> 00:19:16,870
Seven years after the murders...

267
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,860
CBS's 48 Hours, mainstay of true crime,
decide they're going to come to Topeka

268
00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:23,860
and do a show.

269
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,940
What we're left with is an emotional
killing. It's an emotional execution.

270
00:19:31,780 --> 00:19:35,300
Whoever it was who did this hated these
people. They wanted them dead, and they

271
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:36,420
wanted to make sure they were dead.

272
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,320
They had won the cooperation of the
newly elected DA.

273
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:46,360
Hecht was out, a young, handsome,
politically ambitious successor.

274
00:19:46,940 --> 00:19:51,840
chad taylor was in i hope that through a
thorough review getting a fresh set of

275
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,760
eyes looking at it i hope we're able to
bring justice for those families dana

276
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:01,340
chandler dana chandler dana chandler
dana channel the 48 hours episode was

277
00:20:01,340 --> 00:20:07,220
the first time dana chandler had ever
been publicly identified as the person

278
00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:12,920
responsible for the deaths of mike and
karen your children would like for you

279
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,920
to talk

280
00:20:25,260 --> 00:20:29,600
Dana Chandler's children believed that
their mom had killed their dad and his

281
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,100
girlfriend. But Haley, in particular,
wanted her brought to justice.

282
00:20:43,370 --> 00:20:48,050
I would say everybody in Topeka was
tuning in. This case was cold, very

283
00:20:48,050 --> 00:20:52,310
cold, and I thought, great, now
somebody's going to really dig into it.

284
00:20:52,770 --> 00:20:58,790
The show utilized a famous homicide
detective who's considered an expert in

285
00:20:58,790 --> 00:20:59,790
the field.

286
00:20:59,870 --> 00:21:04,190
I have personally investigated,
supervised, consulted, and assessed over

287
00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:05,310
8,000 homicides.

288
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:08,430
He put together an analysis of the case.

289
00:21:08,670 --> 00:21:14,520
The report concluded... Dana Chandler is
the one and only person who had the

290
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,480
motive, means, and opportunity to commit
these murders.

291
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:25,680
They used all the power of the media to
make people believe, yep, that girl did

292
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,740
it. And to this day, people say, oh,
after I watched 48 hours, I was

293
00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:30,740
convinced she did it.

294
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,200
In 2011, a case that had been cold for
years got quite hot.

295
00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:49,760
Dana Chandler is arrested, and CBS's 48
Hours cameras are there.

296
00:21:50,260 --> 00:21:52,540
They saw a chance at a second episode.

297
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,660
This one built around Dana's trial.

298
00:21:55,740 --> 00:21:57,160
A woman's in that job.

299
00:21:57,420 --> 00:22:02,440
If she's a bad mother, if she's a crazy
person, doesn't necessarily make her a

300
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,600
killer. This hag killed two people, and
the reason we know that is because

301
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,260
everything she said she was doing
instead of the killing was a lie.

302
00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:17,120
All rise. Division 14 in the Third
Conditional District is now in session.

303
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,200
The Honorable Nancy Parrish presiding.

304
00:22:19,780 --> 00:22:23,340
May I please the court, counsel, members
of the jury?

305
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,640
I could kill him.

306
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,620
I thought about killing him.

307
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:36,460
These are the words of this defendant
about her ex-husband, Mike Sisko.

308
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:42,760
The case against Dana Chandler was
essentially to portray her as an

309
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,160
unhinged, vindictive, hateful ex-wife.

310
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:51,180
Was there a time within the seven or
eight days that Karen told you about the

311
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:55,300
defendant showing up uninvited and
unwanted at Mike's house? Yes.

312
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,360
Its effect on Karen was what?

313
00:22:59,950 --> 00:23:00,950
She was scared.

314
00:23:01,570 --> 00:23:06,850
And the prosecution argued that Mike had
actually even sought the court's

315
00:23:06,850 --> 00:23:09,430
protection from the threat of his
ex-wife.

316
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:11,510
Did Mike get a protection from abuse?

317
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:13,130
Yes, he did. Against who?

318
00:23:13,470 --> 00:23:14,470
Against the defendant.

319
00:23:14,970 --> 00:23:19,530
Mike got a protection from abuse, a
court order. He applied and said, hey

320
00:23:19,530 --> 00:23:24,390
judge, please order this woman to stay
away from me. And the judge agreed.

321
00:23:24,930 --> 00:23:28,880
And they even... put forward the idea
that there was a triggering event that

322
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,800
pushed her from just angry and bitter to
murderous.

323
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,580
Two days before the homicides, the
defendant called Mike.

324
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:43,600
Mike at this time told the defendant in
that five-minute phone call that the two

325
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,740
were engaged and planned to be married.

326
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:51,260
But I don't think anything can really
prepare you for seeing two children

327
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:54,680
testify against their mother.

328
00:23:55,390 --> 00:23:58,070
in the trial for the murder of their
father.

329
00:23:58,730 --> 00:24:00,570
How did you learn of their death?

330
00:24:01,530 --> 00:24:08,510
Whenever we got back that night, my
grandma and my sister showed up, and

331
00:24:08,510 --> 00:24:14,590
I told them that my dad was going to
pick me up in the morning.

332
00:24:31,210 --> 00:24:37,330
And they told me that my grandma sat me
down and told me that he was murdered.

333
00:24:41,210 --> 00:24:44,350
Did your dad have trouble with anybody
but the defendant?

334
00:24:45,010 --> 00:24:49,310
No. Did Karen have trouble with anybody
but the defendant? No.

335
00:24:51,970 --> 00:24:52,970
That's all I have.

336
00:24:55,470 --> 00:24:56,910
Can you tell us your name, please?

337
00:24:57,250 --> 00:24:58,350
I'm Haley Sisko.

338
00:24:59,030 --> 00:25:00,130
How old are you?

339
00:25:00,670 --> 00:25:01,670
I'm 27.

340
00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:09,090
My mom pulled up to the side of our car
and started yelling at my dad and

341
00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:11,110
Karen and called Karen a whore and a
slut.

342
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:17,950
I don't think that she could really move
on like my dad had moved on.

343
00:25:19,030 --> 00:25:25,170
In one sad, spooky moment, Dana Chandler
locks eyes with her daughter

344
00:25:25,170 --> 00:25:29,570
or mouths the words, I still love you.

345
00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:41,870
In the District Court of Shawnee County,
State of Kansas versus Dana L. Chandler,

346
00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:46,450
we, the jury, find the defendant guilty
of the crime of murder in the first

347
00:25:46,450 --> 00:25:48,250
degree as charged in count one.

348
00:25:49,030 --> 00:25:53,630
Verdict form number two. We, the jury,
find the defendant guilty of the crime

349
00:25:53,630 --> 00:25:56,410
of murder in the first degree as charged
in count two.

350
00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:02,090
I was stunned.

351
00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:04,190
Shocked.

352
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,400
Pen Pal watched the trial, too.

353
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,360
She attended every day of the three-week
drama.

354
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,440
Where, she asked, was the fucking
evidence?

355
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,380
Never in a million years did I think
that she was guilty.

356
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:26,640
Once Dana was convicted, our advocacy
then switched to helping her.

357
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,020
I guess we're motivated to do what we do
because of our faith.

358
00:26:31,260 --> 00:26:34,500
And the Bible says, speak up for those
who can't speak.

359
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,620
Speak up for justice.

360
00:26:38,140 --> 00:26:42,000
When Keene was a trashman, he used to
pray on the trash truck. He said, Lord,

361
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,840
if you want me to be a trashman the rest
of my life, I will.

362
00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:49,600
But if it's your will, I pray one day I
can use my mind instead of my back. And

363
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,720
Keene has an amazing mind.

364
00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:56,820
Keene Humber got the Waubonsie County
trash contract back in 1981.

365
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,140
His relationship with the county
remained friendly until 1989.

366
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:07,130
During his time as the town's trashman,
He also became its self-styled

367
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:12,110
muckraking local newspaper columnist. He
liked to question county budgets, take

368
00:27:12,110 --> 00:27:14,130
on causes, and culprits.

369
00:27:14,690 --> 00:27:16,090
People loved the articles.

370
00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:19,810
Nobody had ever challenged the county
commissioners like I was doing.

371
00:27:20,370 --> 00:27:25,290
Eileen was very supportive because she
was equally as annoyed as I was.

372
00:27:25,610 --> 00:27:29,570
He developed his own unorthodox
investigative techniques.

373
00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:34,290
The janitor courthouse and I had a kind
of a...

374
00:27:35,570 --> 00:27:40,710
understanding the janitor would place
all sorts of confidential material in a

375
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:46,770
designated trash bag they couldn't
figure out how I was getting that

376
00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:52,050
information the garbage was in the black
bags the county secrets were in the

377
00:27:52,050 --> 00:27:58,330
white bag local authorities had enough
of this fucking Bob Woodward here and

378
00:27:58,330 --> 00:28:00,050
they cut off his trash contract

379
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,260
They terminated my contract based on the
content of my articles, and that is a

380
00:28:06,260 --> 00:28:07,480
violation of the First Amendment.

381
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:09,260
He says, screw that.

382
00:28:09,580 --> 00:28:13,620
He takes his case all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court and fucking wins.

383
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,940
We were hugging each other. We were
laughing.

384
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:18,420
We couldn't hardly even speak.

385
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,560
We think there'll be a better America
because of this. I mean, seriously,

386
00:28:22,820 --> 00:28:26,560
people will be less afraid to speak out.
That's the plumb I get to walk away

387
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,100
with, knowing that other people are
coming behind me.

388
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,580
can use my case to get justice.

389
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,580
Fresh off his Supreme Court victory, he
decides, you know what? I'm gonna go

390
00:28:38,580 --> 00:28:41,580
back to college, I'm gonna get a degree,
I'm gonna go to law school, I'm gonna

391
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:42,580
become a lawyer.

392
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,700
He opens his own private practice.

393
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,980
If injustice is going on out there, I
can't live over here and say, well, it

394
00:28:48,980 --> 00:28:49,980
doesn't affect me.

395
00:28:50,060 --> 00:28:51,600
That's just who I am.

396
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,420
In God's house, there's many vessels.

397
00:28:53,660 --> 00:28:55,300
He made me a certain kind of vessel.

398
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:59,200
I'm a sword, and the purpose of a sword
is to...

399
00:28:59,530 --> 00:29:03,590
poke and kill and do the justice part
that's where my faith is

400
00:29:03,590 --> 00:29:09,690
i

401
00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:16,650
wanted to visit dana chandler in jail so
i wrote and asked if she

402
00:29:16,650 --> 00:29:21,930
would allow that finally after many
attempts she agreed to meet

403
00:29:21,930 --> 00:29:27,050
i'm here at the prison i'm going to be
visiting dana now

404
00:29:28,750 --> 00:29:31,710
This is where Dana Chandler spends her
days and nights.

405
00:29:31,930 --> 00:29:37,430
I do recall being concerned that
everything's recorded, so I wrote

406
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:40,350
something on a piece of paper and put it
up on the glass.

407
00:29:40,990 --> 00:29:42,670
I didn't know her at all.

408
00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:46,430
She didn't know me either, but we forged
a relationship.

409
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,080
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Keene was
working to acquire all the discovery

410
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,520
files from the case. I would make notes
and go back and categorize each person's

411
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,300
testimony and analyze it and
cross-analyze it. To start laying the

412
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:02,420
groundwork for an appeal.

413
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,080
Dan didn't know me, so she was
appropriately cautious.

414
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,600
You know, but we're the only ones
willing to help.

415
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,540
Then we entered into a legal
relationship where I could meet with her

416
00:30:14,540 --> 00:30:16,120
in a special room.

417
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,540
We were still on video, but they could
not listen.

418
00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:24,180
They started putting their heads
together about how to put on an appeal.

419
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,560
While he was working with Dana side by
side, I would work on projects at home,

420
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,760
and personally, I like to stay in my
pajamas.

421
00:30:34,580 --> 00:30:38,400
Together... They combined their efforts
to try to prove that Dana Chandler had

422
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,240
been wrongfully convicted by
unscrupulous and unrepentant

423
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,040
prosecutors. Call it the case against
the case of Kansas v.

424
00:30:47,460 --> 00:30:48,460
Dana Chandler.

425
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:56,740
The prosecution's theory for a motive
was that Mike and Dana had a five-minute

426
00:30:56,740 --> 00:30:58,600
conversation two days before the
murders.

427
00:30:58,980 --> 00:31:03,840
Mike at this time told the defendant in
that five-minute phone call, that the

428
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,860
two were engaged and planned to be
married there's no evidence about the

429
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:14,160
content of the phone call so there's
only evidence that they spoke there

430
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,200
wasn't a tape there wasn't a transcript
there wasn't a recording nothing it was

431
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:24,120
all made up but jackie stated that was
the trigger for dana to drive 540 miles

432
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,700
purchase a gun and break into the home
and kill two people in order to

433
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:33,880
establish that premise they manufactured
the claim that Mike had to get a

434
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,560
protection from abuse order, and they
used, of all people, the lead detective

435
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,200
to testify to this.

436
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,260
Did Mike get a protection from abuse?

437
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,640
Yes, he did.

438
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,680
Against who?

439
00:31:44,780 --> 00:31:45,780
Against the defendant.

440
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:49,580
So I went hunting for this protection
from abuse order.

441
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,080
I filed them before.

442
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,720
I know what they look like. It was about
three-quarters of an inch thick of

443
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,880
paperwork. It's not just a single paper.
You can't miss it.

444
00:31:58,410 --> 00:32:03,250
I'm going through every page of this
divorce proceeding, and I don't find it.

445
00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:08,550
It's not there. It was never there
because it never happened. It was total

446
00:32:08,550 --> 00:32:14,350
fiction. The only order Mike ever
obtained in the divorce proceeding was a

447
00:32:14,350 --> 00:32:17,910
mutual restraining order. At the very
beginning, that's routinely handed out

448
00:32:17,910 --> 00:32:18,990
to both parties.

449
00:32:19,710 --> 00:32:23,150
But a protection from abuse order is
much more serious. There's a hearing.

450
00:32:23,270 --> 00:32:25,930
The other side gets to have a lawyer.
You have a little trial.

451
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,360
It's a big deal to get one of these
things. And it gave the imprimatur to

452
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,620
the jury that Dana was dangerous.

453
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:37,860
To Keene and Eileen, the testimony by
cops was nothing short of perjury.

454
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,620
I could see there just wasn't going to
be enough time in a day for us to really

455
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:43,440
dedicate our lives to this case.

456
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:47,080
So we owned 500 acres out here, some
family property.

457
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:52,280
We decided to sell it, and I would close
my law practice so we could dedicate

458
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,060
ourselves 100%.

459
00:32:54,670 --> 00:32:57,250
to Dana's case every single waking day.

460
00:33:00,870 --> 00:33:04,730
We made the decision that we're going to
sell this.

461
00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:10,110
We're just so committed to this case
that there's really nothing else in life

462
00:33:10,110 --> 00:33:10,949
that matters.

463
00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:17,170
The wrong done to her is just that
great. If Dana Chandler can't get a fair

464
00:33:17,170 --> 00:33:19,770
trial and due process, then none of us
can.

465
00:33:23,660 --> 00:33:28,440
So Dana gets convicted in March 2012 and
immediately files a notice of appeal.

466
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:35,500
But her first appellate argument was in
January 27, 2016, almost four years

467
00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:36,660
after she gets convicted.

468
00:33:38,380 --> 00:33:43,620
I call the second case on this morning's
docket, State of Kansas v. Chandler. May

469
00:33:43,620 --> 00:33:46,340
I please court Jackie Spradling on
behalf of the Appley?

470
00:33:46,620 --> 00:33:51,380
Right off the bat, Supreme Court
justices were just nailing her.

471
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:57,740
I don't see how you say during that
phone call the victim told the defendant

472
00:33:57,740 --> 00:33:59,460
that they were getting engaged.

473
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,520
We don't know anything about what
happened in that phone call, do we? Do

474
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,900
you have any direct evidence or any kind
of evidence that's stronger than what

475
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:10,120
you've already talked about on what
happened during the five-minute phone

476
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,120
call?

477
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:15,000
Not that I can promise she was in their
record rather than just in my mind.

478
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:18,179
That's not an answer. Yes, I understand.
The answer has to be it's in evidence.

479
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,920
You understand that, of course. Yes,
Your Honor.

480
00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:24,320
Judge after judge after judge, just
nailing her on the mistakes she had made

481
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,880
and the false statements she had made.

482
00:34:26,179 --> 00:34:31,159
How do you stand up in front of a jury
and tell them that a protection from

483
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:33,080
abuse order was entered?

484
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,699
What I should have said, Your Honor, was
that there was a protective order.

485
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,100
That's a whole lot different than a
protection from abuse order, isn't it?

486
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:46,780
I'll agree that there was no protection
from abuse order. Even though you said

487
00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:47,618
there was?

488
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:51,620
Yes, sir. Why isn't that misconduct, and
why isn't that something we should look

489
00:34:51,620 --> 00:34:53,739
at? And what is your answer to that?

490
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,800
They completely gutted Jackie Spradling
that day.

491
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,460
Would you like 60 seconds to wrap up, or
do you think you've established your

492
00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:03,660
points? No, thank you. I'm good.

493
00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:06,710
Supreme Court decisions always come out
on Friday.

494
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:11,790
I'm there waiting, like I've waited so
many weeks before, and I see it pop,

495
00:35:11,970 --> 00:35:13,330
State v. Chandler.

496
00:35:14,270 --> 00:35:15,290
I said, oh, my gosh.

497
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:19,030
There's no sense in reading the first
part. You just zoom right past to the

498
00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:21,010
end, reverse and remand it.

499
00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:25,690
A major Topeka murder case has been
overturned. The state's highest court

500
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:27,410
ruling that the case was botched.

501
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,840
it said the lead prosecutor jackie
spradling told the jury false

502
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:41,740
information prosecutorial misconduct
made up evidence lies to the jury

503
00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:46,940
the kansas supreme court's reversal was
blistering the desire to win the

504
00:35:46,940 --> 00:35:52,740
justices held had trumped truth dana
chandler sent ksnt news a written letter

505
00:35:52,740 --> 00:35:56,180
from prison and the letter chandler
thanks the supreme court justices and

506
00:35:56,180 --> 00:35:58,540
attorney king umber for their work in
the reversal

507
00:35:59,530 --> 00:36:04,490
But they didn't vacate the decisions,
right? They sent it back to the trial

508
00:36:04,490 --> 00:36:09,190
court and to the prosecutor's office.
There was now yet another new district

509
00:36:09,190 --> 00:36:10,430
attorney in office.

510
00:36:10,730 --> 00:36:16,010
Shawnee County District Attorney Mike
Kage says if the state decides to retry

511
00:36:16,010 --> 00:36:20,810
Chandler, the new trial would have to
begin within 150 days.

512
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:24,350
And he decided he would try her again.

513
00:36:27,150 --> 00:36:31,050
But Penbell and Treshman were determined
to see that never happened.

514
00:36:31,350 --> 00:36:36,770
I still always gravitate back to
watching true crime stories on TV.

515
00:36:37,050 --> 00:36:41,670
Some of it dovetails in with what we're
trying to do to get to the bottom of who

516
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:46,170
killed Mike and Karen. Because to be
honest, this has never been just about

517
00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:50,590
Dana Chandler's innocence and a desire
to see her free.

518
00:36:51,130 --> 00:36:55,670
Not only do we believe in her innocence,
we want the true killer of Mike Sisko

519
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:57,330
and Karen Harkness to be brought to
justice.

520
00:36:57,770 --> 00:37:04,370
I first came to know Keene and Eileen as
passionate crusaders for a woman they

521
00:37:04,370 --> 00:37:06,590
thought was, you know, wrongly
convicted.

522
00:37:06,970 --> 00:37:11,930
But they weren't just advocates for the
innocence of Dana Chandler.

523
00:37:13,610 --> 00:37:17,170
Actually, they were pretty certain.

524
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:24,620
Not only that Dana Chandler... is
innocent, but that they know who fucking

525
00:37:24,620 --> 00:37:25,620
did it.
