And then when they hung up, the phone rang again.

And when Alberta picked it up, it was a man's voice on the other end joking about the conversation she had just been having.

Like he heard the entire thing.

And so Alberta was convinced that someone had tapped her phone.

I mean, declassified records show that the CIA, along with other U.S.

agencies, spied on Martin Luther King Jr.

There was a vested government interest in stopping equality movements that Alberta was a part of.

And listen, the very night that Alberta went to see Gladys, Alberta was apparently reading about the Kennedy assassination.

And Alberta said that very night she hoped that she wouldn't end up like him.

After Alberta died, Flores said that the family learned Alberta had just gotten a burglar alarm put on her car and she had apparently bought a gun.

Yeah.

And it's not lost on me that so much of this mystery surrounded the bridge connecting Kentucky to Indiana.

Because Indiana had a resurgence of the KKK in the 1960s.

Remember, there's 51 miles on that car.

The purse is found on the Indiana side.

There seems to be some tie to Indiana.

I just don't know what it is.

No, not in like a meaningful way.

But like, I don't know how much I actually trust the file because this idea that Alberta could have been targeted, the glaring reality that this more than anything else makes the most sense for a motive.

It seems to have been like totally ignored.
