I've got to say, it's pretty uncanny how similar the photo of Barry is to the sketch. I've seen about a dozen photos of him from the 70s to the 90s. His appearance changes a lot. Sometimes he's clean-shaven, sometimes he has a mustache, a full beard, a buzz cut, longer hair. However, the photo of Barry that matches the sketch is from 1985. And it seems that from 85 to 88, Barry's hairline receded.

So if the witnesses in the Briggs case saw Barry in 1989, they likely wouldn't describe him as having a full, wavy head of hair. More importantly, all the witnesses agree that the boy on the bike was on the younger side, teen to late 20s. If this is true, then the age range and physical description don't match Barry Martin. In 1989, he would have been in his early 40s.

Abel said Barry took the kids to go see Disney on ice in Portland, Maine.

So I scoured the newspaper archives and confirmed that Disney on Ice was playing in Portland at the Civic Center, which is only a 15-minute walk to the murder site at Bath Ironworks. However, Disney on Ice was only in town from September 12th to the 17th in 1989. That's four months after the murder.

April also said that Barry would go on hunting trips off the coast of Maine, but she didn't remember exactly when or where. Aside from the similarity between Barry and the composite sketch of the boy on the bike, Barry has absolutely no connection to the murder of Jessica Briggs. But is Briggs a Connecticut River Valley killer victim?

The state alleges that this boy on the bike is none other than Jessica's ex-boyfriend, Anthony Sanborn. Now, I must disclose that my main point of contact is Amy Fairfield, Sanborn's defense attorney. Amy's obviously biased in favor of her client. She's maintained that Sanborn is innocent.

I feel it's important to mention this because of all the recent criticism of another journalist's seminal podcast, Serial. When Sarah Koenig decided to cover Adnan Syed's conviction for the murder of Haemin Lee... The person from whom all of her information stemmed from was Adnan's defense attorney, Rabia Chaudhry.

It is Rabia, after all, that induced Koenig to make cereal and posited questions as to Adnan Syed's guilt. That's a defense attorney's job, after all. And Rabia is good at it. So I'm conscious of this as I look into Anthony Sanborn's case. That said...

Amy made available to me any documents I requested, among them trial transcripts, crime scene video footage, autopsy photos, and an independent FBI review of the case. I tried my best to look at this case holistically. So here's what I found. Anthony Sanborn, or Tony as he's known, became a person of interest to the Portland police in June of 1989 because of statements made by three people.

The first is Glenn B., a teenager at the time and a friend of Sanborn's. Glenn said he saw Sanborn and Jessica Briggs going for a friendly walk on Sunday, May 21st. Then Glenn says he ran into Sanborn on May 23rd, the night of the murder. Sanborn asked him if he'd seen Jessica. He seemed mad at her, Glenn noted.
