Episode 221 - Richard Craniums - The Murder of Nicole VanderHeyden

Imagine you’re accused of a murder you didn’t commit. What's the worst alibi you could possibly have? 

It's the one with no eyewitnesses, right? It's the one that’s impossible to prove and might even seem a bit too convenient.

Now, picture your dread as a detective leans in across the interrogation table and asks, "Where were you on the morning of “such and such a date”, between 3 and 6 in the morning?" 

Your heart sinks cause your only answer is the honest one: "I was at home, asleep all night in bed by myself."

It’s an alibi like this that can put a person in the hot seat even if they ARE telling the truth.
