Two suspects. No motive. Then police resort to lying in their hunt to catch a killer
In episode 2 of the Murder on Mount Olive podcast, homicide detectives have the best witness possible and just a few hours after the murder,听have two young men in separate interview rooms for questioning
Homicide detectives get lucky. The best witness possible, and he鈥檚 talking, and he鈥檚 got a partial licence plate from a car that left the scene right after Kim Golaub was shot dead. But homicide cops are struggling for a motive. Did someone have a grudge against the victim? Was he in the wrong place at the wrong time? Just a few hours after the murder homicide detectives have two young men in separate interview rooms. Their tactics? Lying to get a confession.
