I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast.
You might see my picture on the front page of the New York Times. It's this horrible monster.
I really didn't know what to believe. I was serving a 99-year sentence.
This case has stolen lives, destroyed families, challenged legal systems, and in the end, left everyone transformed. Look what you did.
You destroyed a family. The door is closing, closing, closing.
I still cannot believe that that happened.
No one's come and get your body. You get buried on prison grounds.
For 22 years, only two people knew the truth.
The best lie is partial truth. And once I had it in my mind, it was locked in there.
I felt like I was on Mars.
At that point, I did what any responsible man would do. I called my mom.
He was stunned. We hugged for about 10 minutes, and I said, I'll forgive you, brother. I forgive you.
