Ramona denies it and says people were just out to tarnish her reputation because she was questioning the police department's version of events.

Still, not a great thing to have out there on the Internet.

But what's most useful to Greg, I think, are all those moments when the cops appeared to have tunnel vision.

For example, when Ramona says they tried to get her to falsely accuse David Wood.

Or when she says they ignored the Plyler story.

Especially if the state didn't tell Wood's lawyers about this stuff before his trial.

I wouldn't call these bombshells, but I would call them good evidence.

And you could argue that Greg only found it all because the execution date forced him to knock on every door one more time.

I ended up calling Mike Plyler a few weeks later.

He confirmed that he did live in El Paso during the time in question.

His tone got a little sharp when I asked if he went by the nickname Skeeter.

He interrupted me and said, quote, that's false.

When asked about raping anyone or being the desert killer, he said, quote, I haven't done nothing.

I don't have nothing to hide.

After we hung up, I sent him Ramona's claims.

He ghosted me.

I do feel for him.

This whole episode made me see just how easy it is for anyone to be accused of pretty egregious stuff in a legal filing.

In this case, rape and being a suspect in a serial murder case.

All because some stranger mentions your name in a Whataburger.
