peeling away the layers of these kinds of crimes that we cover and looking at the police investigation and how they can conclude certain things or what they may have missed or what different things say on the crime scene.

You're going to find this one fascinating.

And we're going to talk to her about our most recent 2020 episode, which was the case that involved a 20-year-old aspiring artist and waitress, Amanda Plass.

This was a very, very...

Sad and tragic story.

She was found dead in her apartment in Massachusetts.

She was stabbed multiple times, found on her kitchen floor.

And what was so alarming about the case was that there was key evidence hiding right there in plain sight.

The case turned completely when police began to look at some of the crime scene photos a little closer.

So the big question is, what was it that finally led to the arrest to crack this case?

Well, to talk about this is a woman some of you might have heard of before.

I certainly have here at 2020.

We have talked to her about some of our stories.

I'm going to bring in criminologist, attorney, and host of the podcast,

criminal appeal, Dr. Casey Jordan, who is going to help us understand the story a little more.

Dr. Jordan, great to see you.

Good to see you again.

Let's talk about a criminologist.

So many people are fascinated and we hear the term thrown around even on television shows.

What does a criminologist do and what do you bring to an investigation that the investigators may not be able to necessarily do?
