So Griffith sent a detective back to the bank to get a time-stamped receipt for Chris's transaction.

We were confident in the timeline that we had put together for Chris Melton, and we felt like he would have had to have been able to bend space and time to have killed Tara Baker.

Griffith reinvestigated other possible suspects, Tara's biological father, and that awkward law student they called Suit Boy, who gave police an alibi.

Griffith ruled them both out.

But as he was digging through the file, a name caught his eye, someone who had easy access to Tara's home, the maintenance man at her development.

William Bryant Barrett has a master key, and that really makes us wonder, is William Bryant Barrett possibly the killer?

What's he doing?

He's watching from outside the crime tape as the firefighters work.

And there was more.

The night after Tara's murder, police asked him to help secure the building.

Just let me make sure I have that straight.

This is one of the very few people who has a key to this apartment.

He was there at the crime scene.

He shows investigators how to open and close the window with a knife blade.

And police never interview him?

No.

How does that happen?

I don't know the answer to that, Blaine.

It was just one of the lapses in investigative effort that happened in this case.

And in my mind, it's probably the biggest lapse ever.
