A few days later, Stephanie says goodbye to the nightly news.

And then the other shoe finally drops in the form of an Instagram post.

We reached out to Stephanie later on to ask if the file of the interview with Greg really was corrupted.

We ran by her Jeremy's less generous version, that it was an excuse.

We also asked if she ever really reached out to Montoya on Greg's behalf.

She declined to comment.

We did get an emailed statement from DA Montoya saying his office had not been involved in this case in more than 30 years.

And so, quote, it would be ill-advised to insert ourselves into the case now.

It's now January.

Almost three weeks have passed since we first met Greg.

The legal team has 67 days to stop David Wood's execution.

The idea of getting James Montoya on board and testing DNA feels more remote than ever.

The lawyers can't even get a face-to-face meeting with him.

So now, with two months left, they're going to launch a fresh round of investigation.

They have to track down new witnesses.

Pursue other suspects.

I don't remember claiming to kill people.

I need a lawyer.

And try to convince the courts that David Wood really could be innocent.

That's next time on The Last Twelve Weeks.
