Just as we think our investigation has reached a dead end, a Facebook message prompts new questions about Jens Soering's claims of innocence. A report by one of the British detectives who interrogated Jens in 1986 cites evidence that Jens' has been lying for 30 years. Thanks to our friend and fellow podcaster, Allison Melody, the host of Food Heals, we hear from a former Bedford deputy who has never spoken publicly about the Haysom murders.
