  • 6: The Fight for Answers
    Apr 16 2025
    This episode will begin with us talking about our discussion with Jeni Decker when we first started this case. We explain both of our struggles with trying to obtain police reports on Janette’s case. After we walk you through how we got the information we currently have, we look at the autopsy report to discuss Janette’s wounds and some of the weapons used. Putting all of our resources together, we ask a few more questions and share our theory that we believe flips the 4 decades long narrative about this case on its head.
