Mini-Cast Lost Girls Update: Let the Games Begin, Spota & McParland
Monday Sep 27, 2021
Monday Sep 27, 2021
In the Lost Girls trilogy, we learned how the Suffolk County police department on Long Island struggled to investigation the Long Island serial killer case, falling victim to internal scandal and administrative hijinks by the top echelon of law enforcement. Arrests, prosecutions, and convictions of the former police chief, district attorney and anti-corruption bureau chief (seriously, I KNOW) in 2016 and 2019 followed. However, former DA Thomas Spot and former bureau chief Christopher McParland were not sentenced—until three years later in August 2021, a three-year delay! GET the UPDATE on these ONGOING cases as Jill fills you in on the latest, that makes your blood boil!
