There are 42 days left before the execution, and Maurice and I have split up again.

I'm heading out to St.

Louis to meet Greg's co-counsel, Jeremy.

It's very bleak and rainy, and we're setting off on a little road trip to go look for yet another alternate suspect.

Eddie Barton is on Jeremy's list because back in 1989, Barton confessed to killing young women and burying them in the desert in El Paso.

He actually confessed to the murders while also confessing to another completely unrelated crime.

All this confessing happened to FBI agents in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately for Barton, and please forgive me, this was not the kind of thing that would just stay in Vegas.

In their interview with Barton, the FBI recorded details about why he chose the desert to bury his victims.

Barton claimed he picked victims who were, quote, small, petite, young, with features similar to that of his wife.

According to court records, the FBI decided to alert the El Paso Police Department.
