You're about to hear the first episode of the latest true crime original podcast from 2020 and ABC Audio, a shocking six-part series called Blood and Water, the story of loss, loyalty, and a family nearly shattered by tragedy.

In 2001, Leslie Prier, a mom living in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., was found murdered in the bathroom of her own home.

Suspicion fell on her husband, Sandy, and investigators had him in their sights for years.

But decades later, innovations in forensic technology give detectives a chance to reexamine the DNA of another unknown person at the scene of the crime.

Finally...

After more than 20 years, these cold case detectives were able to piece together evidence that revealed the real killer and brought justice to Leslie's family.

Here's what really happened to Leslie Prier.

We'll be sharing weekly episodes on Wednesdays right here on the 2020 podcast feed over the next six weeks.
