How was that conversation?

Oh, that poor man.

You gave him an earful.

Oh, I did.

And it was not all kind.

But good intentions only go so far.

And Tara's family was becoming resigned.

They might never find Tara's killer.

But while Cameron Jay had stopped reporting on Tara's case, he still had a few ideas.

He wanted to find a way to get more resources dedicated to cold cases.

18-year-old Rhonda Coleman was found murdered in 1990 and her case was never solved.

Together, Cameron helped the Coleman and Baker families push for a new law, one that would create and, crucially, fund a brand new cold case unit in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

At what point did this go from, okay, we're doing a podcast to, hey, we're pushing for new legislation to be passed?

It was...

A shock.

I never envisioned doing anything like that.

I thought we were just going to do this podcast and that would be the end of it.

And I went with Cameron and my children to the Capitol and we lobbied with congressmen and some of the senators from the state.

So you're going into the Gold Dome, you're shaking hands, you're talking to people.

Yes, absolutely.
