But without Gipp, the prosecutors could not make as strong a case against Bob Frotta. How important a witness was she? Number one. Here's why. When Price Dash left Gipp's house after the murder, he left the gun behind and she began collecting evidence.

That trace came back to Robert Allen Frada. Police didn't have to look far for this gun. It was right under their noses in one of their own evidence rooms.

The dominoes were falling quickly. After Guidry confessed, Price Dash was arrested and also confessed. They were both charged with murder.

Proving that he did will be harder than prosecutors thought. By the time the trial began, Price, Dash and Guidry said their confessions were coerced, withdrew them and refused to testify.
