    In 1990, 11-year-old Robin Cornell and 32-year-old Lisa Story were brutally assaulted and murdered in their Cape Coral home. For over two decades, the case remained unsolved, leaving their families and community desperate for closure. Then, a single piece of evidence—a DNA match—finally brought an answer. But with that answer came an even deeper question: Are we all born free of evil, is it something that can grow within us over time?

You did a great job telling this horrible story. It’s disgusting to realize this monster of a mother will be out some day.

My favorite by far!

Well researched and presented.
My only real issue is that many of the interview clips are too quiet compared to the rest of the podcast, so sometimes you have to turn the volume way up to hear them, but then turn it back down quickly when that clip is done playing.

A relatively minor issue though.

Favorite True Crime podcast

Finally, justice for Angie and justice for Chris. Thank goodness for the technology that got the real murderer.

Riveting!!!

But it has to be done... I was totally baffled to hear about people ridiculing him. I guess that was naive of me. He deserves a freaking medal and some privacy.

It's hard doing the right thing....

I've heard and seen this story told many times but Mike tells the story better than most others. I love Sword and Scale and Mike's narrative is the best, by far, than other podcasters. Keep up the good work. You all work very hard to tell us a story that captives the mind.

Better than most.
