S01 E03 Are You Steve?

In this pivotal episode, Neeli Faulkner and Joshua Scott travel to Rockford, Alabama, to walk through the scene of the crime that changed Daniel Blan’s life. They meet with one of Daniel’s former attorneys to reexamine his alibi, which hinged on a time card from his workplace. Yet, a conversation with a juror uncovers that the jury largely dismissed this evidence, swayed by the testimony of Daniel’s supervisor.

Neeli pieces together whether Daniel could have realistically made it to the crime scene and explores potential alternative motives for the murder. Just as new insights surface, an unexpected plot twist is revealed, turning the investigation on its head.
