When he called the police to report the body, he specifically had described Mary as a white girl.

Doesn't make me suspicious cause you're gonna get the cops there a lot quicker if you say it's a white girl that got killed.
podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host
Like that's that really was suspicious to them.
podcast-host

podcast-host
Well, and say that.
podcast-host
And the reason that they were suspicious, they said, was that because she was so covered in soot, you couldn't have known her race.

podcast-host

podcast-host
