Episode notes
Tiny Evidence Photos Reconstruct Timelines
- Small evidence details like receipts and photos filled crucial timeline gaps in the investigation.
- Researchers used dozens of evidence photos, including Kimberly's datebook and a carry-all bag, to trace movements and possible out-of-state links.
Waitsfield Bag Sparks Link To 2006 Disappearance

- Bridget, the maker, identified one bag from 2009 and found about 1,000 sold via REI, complicating forensic inferences.

- Investigators must weigh production dates against Keys' habit of revisiting locations.
