Summary

Peggy's note: "Don't be mad if I call at 2 AM." A handwritten note in the handbag of a murdered woman reveals a chilling detail: her last request to a man whom the police never thoroughly interrogated. Why did the investigation ignore Peggy Hetrick's voice hours before her death? In this episode, the case of Peggy Hetrick is examined, who was murdered in Fort Collins, Colorado, more than thirty-five years ago. The mistakes of the original investigation, Matt Zollner's alibi, and the insistence of her brother, Tom Hetrick, to reopen the case are discussed. Case: Murder of Peggy Hetrick Date: January 22, 1987 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado Victim: Peggy Hetrick, 26 years old Main suspect according to detective: Matt Zollner - An innocent man spent nearly ten years in prison for this crime. - The most likely suspect died before being tried. - Peggy's note said that if she had to knock on Matt's door at two in the morning, please don't be difficult. - The time window of Peggy's death, between one and five in the morning, is crucial for Matt Zollner's alibi. - The police never questioned Matt about the dinner he had with Peggy days before her death, nor about the note found in her handbag.
