I won't bring up the John's again, but is there even a solid connection between these two cases? Detective Rivera
00:00:06
doesn't really get to dive into Marina's case right away, right? Like that didn't
00:00:10
happen for him cuz we know they didn't have the files. They didn't have anything. It doesn't happen for him till
00:00:14
like 2016. This time, even though there's still no one actively working the case, the sheriff's do pull those
00:00:20
case files that Detective Shepard couldn't get access to. and he told us that after kind of looking at
00:00:26
everything, his gut feeling is that these are actually separate cases. He's not closing the door on a connection
00:00:34
between Marina's case and Reed's case. There's always a chance they were killed by the same person, but with everything
00:00:40
he knows, it feels unlikely to him. >> And maybe trying to connect these cases to the Manson family and like then each
00:00:48
other led to like blind spots for police over the years. So if we look at them separately,
00:00:55
what are each of the like individual theories for each case? If they aren't connected and they are standalone, like
00:01:01
what does that what does that even look
