Alex Hannaford returns with a major update on the case of Andres Mascorro, who has spent 27 years in prison for the murder of Darryl Kolojaco, despite always maintaining his innocence.

Back in 2003, serial killer Angel Resendiz told Alex that he - not Andres - was responsible for the murder, but the State of Texas executed him three years later.

By the time the podcast series ended in 2019, the case appeared to be a clear miscarriage of justice. Since then, an extraordinary effort by lawyers and investigators has gone into trying to exonerate Andres.

Now, Alex reveals what's been happening behind the scenes - and shares some incredible news.

In this special interview, Alex speaks to Dead Man Talking listener and former Corrections Officer, Bobby Blanton.

Bobby worked as a guard at the Polunsky Unit, which houses Texas’s death row, and got to know Angel Resendiz well while the serial killer was an inmate there. Bobby explains why he believes the confessions on the tape are true.

In this episode Alex speaks to someone who not only spent lots of time with Angel Resendiz on Death Row, she also watched him die.

Michelle Lyons was spokeswoman for the Texas department of Criminal Justice and she’s got some pretty unnerving things to say about Resendiz as she got to know him pretty well on his time on Death Row.

In 1997, two young lovers, Jesse Howell and Wendy Von Huben, went missing in Florida after riding the rails down there. Two years on, Resendiz confessed to killing the couple, and led detectives to Von Huben's body. Alex looks deeper into this case and finds strong similarities with Resendiz's confession to him of multiple murders on the California/Arizona border.
