He could not be the guy.

We spoke with him and he talked about how tough that was for him and the trauma and so forth.

But is it important that police cast a wide net in the very beginning or to go very close, like you just said, with family members and people who knew the person?

Yeah, well, so they eventually rule him out and now they have no suspects.

And we talk a lot in our 2020 episodes about DNA, the importance of DNA.

You've got DNA in this case, no suspect.

And obviously with the blood and so forth, they've got something there to look at.

Where do police begin once they've ruled out that suspect and they've got to keep looking and they've got something here, but they have nobody to match it to?

And that's kind of what happened here.

Well, this is fascinating stuff.

So I know you're not going anywhere and don't you go anywhere because when we come back, we're going to talk to Dr. Jordan not only about Moore in this case and how police were able to track down a killer, but how there was a clue

That was right there in plain sight, not too far from where Amanda's body was found.

Dr. Jordan is going to give us her take on that.

So don't go anywhere.

Welcome back to 2020 The After Show.

I am speaking with the fascinating Dr. Casey Jordan, a criminologist, about the most recent story that we covered here on 2020, which involved an aspiring artist and a woman who was a waitress by the name of Amanda Plass, who was found murdered in her home.

And police were stalled in their investigation for a

couple of years before they finally landed on a suspect.

Amanda's mother, Michelle, was just relentless in her desire to find justice, to find this killer.

And I've covered stories where the mom has been the center and the focus of an investigation, will not give up and will not let police give up.
