You can bury the dead, but not the truth. At a crime scene, if my partner walked up and whispered, "Give me the dirty," he wanted to hear what I knew about the case. He's asking for the backstory, how we got to this point, and what's been done, he wants the facts unprocessed, unfiltered, and raw.

With this new evidence, a light is cast into the darkness of the myth and legend to give us
