The truth was always there.

Now, it’s time to uncover it.

In Part One of Routine Patrol, we walked through a case that didn’t make sense—an abandoned car, a staged crime scene, and two victims who never tried to run.

Now, we reveal what really happened.

In Episode 10, Billy and Carley break down the real case behind the mystery. The names, locations, and key details from Part One may have been changed—but the evidence was always pointing somewhere.

And the answer?

It wasn’t random. It wasn’t rushed. And it wasn’t what it seemed.

What begins as a routine patrol at a secluded lovers lane quickly turns into a calculated double homicide. Investigators were left with a scene that raised more questions than answers—no forced entry, no signs of a struggle, and nothing taken from the vehicle.

But one detail changed everything.

In Part Two, we uncover:

• The critical clue that explains why the victims complied
• The truth behind the staged elements of the crime scene
• The suspect who avoided detection for decades
• And the investigative breakthrough that finally connected the case

Some of the theories from Part One came close.

Others missed completely.

But once you see the full picture…

it becomes clear the answer was there all along.

If you haven’t listened to Part One, go back and try to solve it first.

Because in this case…

the most important clue wasn’t what happened.

It was what didn’t.
