We are Farida and Dariusz
Farida reads the court files and arrives with the timeline. Dariusz spent thirty years as a court reporter and still asks the dull questions that matter.
Every Thursday we go through one unsolved case from the Midwest, with respect for the people it happened to, and we leave the porch light on for anyone who knows more.
