Description
The broken nail and the 48 dead of Flatonia.
A twenty-year-old woman is found dead in Flatonia, Texas, and the case is closed as a suicide. But a broken acrylic nail with blood and a shattered window with glass on the inside are not mentioned in the report. What does the official investigation hide?
In this episode, the case of Rowena Wilkinson Zappalack is analyzed, a woman found dead in her apartment in Flatonia, Texas, in 1984. The inconsistencies in the official investigation and the connection to the disappearance of another woman in the same city are explored. What pattern links these deaths in a small community where everyone knows each other?
