And who she is.
And while it's easy to look at this story and be like, wow, this person got away with living for three decades on the lambs.
And, you know, be interested in like, you know, how did she pull it off and all of that and the cat and mouse of it all.
But I also saw a survivor.
I mean, just saw somebody who was...
very um steadfast in what they believed about themselves which was i am an innocent person and i'm going to do whatever it takes to get justice for myself and there's something pretty badass about that anyhow back to you know the original question which is what was that like i mean it just every day got more fascinating to me and then and that was just and that was before i met
tanya formerly known as margot freshwater and then once i finally met her i mean that's when it was on you know it was just like she is it wasn't like i was like you know starstruck or anything but you meet her and you just realize how much committed in a different way yes yeah
how much deeper this story goes, the testimony to the human spirit that it is, there's so much nuance to this story with regard to what does justice mean, what does rehabilitation mean, what does innocence mean, there's so many different things.
that you can take away from this.
And to be able to have her parse all of that out for me was just unbelievable.
And then approaching it, you know, I think we've all had that moment with this story.
When I say all of us, I'm thinking of like you and Carrie and Ben, who really kind of started the development process of this, but where we kind of had an idea in our heads of who Margot Freshwater was.
And so much of that comes from, sure, there had been a lot of reporting on her crimes and her case and her trial.
But it had always been from a singular point of view that she was this, the woman behind the man, that she was the Bonnie to this man.
you know, much older man's Clyde, that she was a willful accomplice in this crime spree.
And there just was nothing in the record of her.
Margot's paths crossed with him because a friend of hers had been caught up in an armed robbery in the Tennessee area.
Glenn Nash was an attorney who I would liken to a Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul.
This is a guy who's kind of hanging on by his fingernails.
He had been the Memphis Bar Association was looking into him.
