We did a lot of research on this.

where it was, whether it was, and we could not account for this phone booth.

Laura said that's because it never was.

She said the only conceivable place for a phone at the Best Buy would have been inside in the foyer part of the store, but there was no phone there either.

Laura says she knows this because she used to go to that Best Buy a lot, from the time it opened through 98 into 99, with her family and without her family.

You're saying you would shoplift CDs?

Yeah.

Sorry.

I don't have the CDs.

So you're saying you would have noticed a thing like that because you were kind of aware.

Laura and I hypothesized why, if there really wasn't a phone booth, how could the cops have missed a detail like that?

Wouldn't they have noted it?

Laura thought maybe it wasn't a big deal to them.

It's not a small detail.

No, it's not because they're saying that's where the 236 call comes from, is that payphone at Best Buy.

So that's thing one.

Thing two, I learned, it also relates to this 236 call.

I talked to a woman named Summer.

She went to Woodlawn.

She's been listening to the podcast.
