The matriarch of a prominent Princeton family is found stabbed to death in her locked basement in 1989. Why would anyone want to kill Cissy Stuart, one of the Ivy league town’s most well-known characters? The shocking investigation sprawls across decades, as police turn their attention from a serial attacker, to her son, to a group of Princeton University students who said they were at a Grateful Dead concert at the time of the killing. The hot-blooded investigator sees a conspiracy. Is he way off base? Or does privilege let you get away with murder?

Lost its focus

This case seems to be more about the obsessed cop than the crime or the victim. I think some should look at Tony’s old cases more closely, or rather the convictions that came from Tony’s cases.
Nothing particularly new

I grew up in Princeton and remember this crime. Was hoping for so much more. Podcasters beware: don’t make the story about you, unless the story IS about YOU. We don’t care how you feel otherwise, and saying things like “I can’t imagine how that felt” adds nothing to the story. The female neighbor: what was her alibi? Did you try to interview the serial stabber?
Weak sauce

A sad and fascinating case… but a mediocre podcast in which the story peters out, no new evidence is brought to light and we’re left with a last hour or 2 of a morally-dubious stakeout (that ends with “no comment”) and tearful musing about how much fun it would be to have a beer with the victim.
Great investigation!

Loved this. It really shows you how cold cases work, how people follow them, why they don’t get solved and what stands in the way.
