In our last episode of the series, we are finally able to go on record with Sandy’s attorney with the Innocence Project, Jane Pucher. We also speak with Gilbert King, the writer and host of the Bone Valley podcast about some of the similarities between these two cases. And, most importantly, we dig into Sandy’s wrongful imprisonment, who fought to keep her beyond bars for so long, and what she’s doing now.

The difficult part about doing a season in real time is that you’re often waiting on answers. We’re taking a short break and will return as soon as we have a ruling from Sandy’s evidentiary hearing, which is expected this summer. We’ll be bringing you more episodes that feature key people who’ve not yet been able to speak on record. Stay tuned.

This week we’re sharing another podcast that deals with similar subjects to this season of Ozarks True Crime, namely wrongful imprisonment and questionable police practices. Say Their Name focuses on the assault and killing of Black people by police throughout the United States. This episode focuses on the story of 34 year old Miriam Carey, who was shot and killed by Capitol Police after she accidentally made an incorrect turn into a White House security checkpoint. In Say Their Name, learn more about who these individuals were and how these devastating situations affect families and communities across the U.S.

As she awaits the judge’s ruling, Sandra Hemme returns to the Chillicothe Correctional Center to continue serving her 50-year prison sentence. In this episode, we ask what will happen if Sandy is released. We talk to advocates, and hear first-hand from an exoneree, about what it’s like to return home after decades of wrongful imprisonment.

The hearing concludes, and our team drives to St. Joseph to visit the site where Sandy was first interrogated by police: the St. Joseph State Hospital. Now the site of a prison and a museum, we work to understand the disturbing past of Missouri’s mental health facilities and investigate why so many people with mental illness are placed in Missouri prisons.
