I didn’t see the entire episode, only the last 20 min. The man who was convicted was so obviously a liar, and guilty, even I could see it.
The only reason he was charged (and convicted) was because he went to the library and used their computers and searched the area where her body was found (the police had no idea where her body was until he did this).
Why is are murders compelled to go back to the scene of their crimes, the disposal sites of the body?
In this case, it was because he saw a search being performed in the area, and he wanted to see how close they would come to the body. I think there are a variety of reasons why some go back. Some go to the scene (not the body) to watch people trying to figure out what they feel they “supremely know” if you will. It’s a power kick that they can outsmart the cops (though few do!). They want to eves drop to hear people speak about it, too. Creepy.

That KC dude gave me the chills from the get-go. If he’s a chemist, why didn’t he have his OWN computer? Because he spent all his money on surgery? Wow. A degree in chemistry takes some intelligence, but I couldn’t believe how stupid he was to do those searches on the library computer about body decay, cell phone tracking, and then he Google mapped the grave. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Glad he did it thought because otherwise they may not have ever found her body. So sad. Smart of her to make that recorded call with the dude’s full name. I wish she had followed her gut and gotten out.

I missed this tonight, but I will try to watch it tomorrow.

I was fascinated by the account of the police work. The detective said he paid Joy a surprise visit NINE times, just like Colombo! And do you really think they work every case with about ten investigators huddled in a room? I was impressed with the amount of time and effort they spent on the case. Just as well, Maribel seemed like such a lovely person.

Great point on Columbo! This is the first time a true crime story seemed almost entirely like a Columbo episode, from the “friendly” hounding by the investigator, to the suspect making just one undeniable incriminating move that entirely breaks the case.

To relive the crime. Rarely from remorse. JMHO.
