Yes. Greg Biggs was under no obligation to help Madison, but he did. And he made a tremendous difference, I thought, because he started uncovering all kinds of like little things in the investigation that hadn't made sense, things that a defense attorney would use. And he...

uttered a memorable line that the women of A Date with Dateline talk about all the time and that many people talk with me about. In fact, I have a screenshot of this moment with Chiron on it, you know, with the subtitles in my phone, which I send to people sometimes, which is, I kissed a dead dog on the road when I was 17. Wow. Which he said, right?

I, I, yeah, I believe it was some kind of like probably pre-college high school college road trip. Um, He was with his friends and was either a dare or losing a bet. I can't quite remember that little moment, which, of course, has nothing to do with Madison Alton.

I was doing a story once. I said in the interview with one of the people in the case, I said, you know, I jumped off the garage holding an umbrella like I was Mary Poppins. Right? Because I thought it would be like a parachute. Right? And guess what? Yeah, it wasn't. Didn't work, I'm assuming? No. Landed in a bush. I got cuts on my arms. I mean, I'm lucky I didn't break anything, but I didn't.

Yeah, I mean, to give the benefit of the doubt to local law enforcement down there, this is a little more complicated case than they usually get. And, you know, this is not a jurisdiction that gets a tremendous amount of murders on which forensics tell one story and eyewitnesses tell a completely different one, and you can't tell which is which.

Because even the forensics, like, we're a little bit... You know, flawed, like there wasn't any blood on Madison. So he shoots mom and dad, but then there's no there's no blood spatter. And there's clearly he doesn't have time to change his clothes or wash it off in those 11 minutes. So that was something that sort of was a hole in the in the armor of the state's case.
