The View From Above (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
On a crisp fall morning in 2007, a small airplane took flight over the forested town of Graham, Washington. The pilot was a detective with the Pierce county sheriffâs department, and he was flying a somewhat unusual mission. He wasnât looking for a lost person, or chasing a fleeing suspect. Instead, he was circling the sky above the scene of a double-murder case that had him â and his whole department â stumped. The detective had run out of ideas on the ground. So heâd decided to take flight. He always thought better in the air â and he figured he would literally get a new perspective on his evidence this way. He circled over the house where the homicides took place. And thatâs when he noticed something â from the sky, it became obvious in a way that he never considered from the ground. With a rush of adrenaline, he turned his plane back toward the airfield. He had a hunch â and if he was right, heâd just cracked the case. For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
