Season 1: Unresolved in Indiana

EPISODE 10:
What We’re Not Seeing in These Cases
In this episode, we step back from individual cases to examine how cases function across different stages of the system.
Across Season 1, we’ve worked through missing persons cases, active investigations, and adjudicated cases, evaluating what the record shows at each stage.
When those cases are placed side by side, a pattern begins to emerge.
Some cases move.
Others don’t.
What the investigation produces.
What information becomes visible.
What the system allows to be decided.
Why some cases progress.
Why others stall.
And why the outcome is not always the full picture.
EPISODE 9:
The Delphi Case — Part 3
In this episode, we examine the appellate phase of the Delphi case.
Following the trial and sentencing, we focus on how the case moves into appeal.
What the record is, how it is reviewed, and how legal arguments are constructed from what already exists in the court file.
This episode examines how cases are evaluated after conviction.
What is in the record.
What is argued.
What has not yet been decided.
EPISODE 8:
The Delphi Case — Part 2
In this episode, we examine the forensic evidence presented in the Delphi case.
Following the timeline established in Part One, we focus on the reported recovery of an unfired cartridge and the toolmark analysis used to associate that cartridge with a firearm.
This episode examines how evidence is interpreted.
What is presented.
What is interpretive.
Where certainty ends.
