Okay, so I was digging around for a new true crime story to get into, and I stumbled upon this “Kathy Jo and Megan Dateline” thing. I had never heard of it before, so I was like, “Let’s do this!”
First, I just Googled the title. I wanted a quick rundown, you know? Get the basic facts before diving into the full episode. The search results gave me some initial names and locations, setting the scene, kinda. it gave very short information about the basic.
Next, I went straight to watching the Dateline episode online. I figured that would be the most complete source of information.I found a online copy,I put on my headphones, got comfortable, and hit play.
As I watched, I started taking notes. Seriously, pen and paper, old school style. Names, dates, places – anything that seemed important, I jotted it down. Sometimes I’d pause the video just to make sure I got the details right.
I create a timeline of the main events. This helped me keep everything straight in my head, because, let’s be real, these cases can get complicated fast. I used bullet points, just to keep it simple.
- The Initial Disappearance: I wrote down the exact date it happened and any initial circumstances reported.
- Key Suspects: Who were the people the police looked at first? I noted their names and relationship to the victims.
- Major Evidence: What were the big pieces of evidence that came up? I made sure to be specific, like “a phone call record” or “a witness statement.”
- The Trial (if there was one): I focused on the key arguments from both sides, the prosecution and the defense.
- The Verdict: Guilty? Not guilty? I made sure to highlight the final outcome.
After the first viewing, I actually watched it a second time, I found some detail were missing in my notebook. This time, I was focused on smaller details. Like, did anyone’s story change? Were there any inconsistencies in the testimonies? It’s amazing what you miss the first time around.
My notes are a bit messy, but it’s all there. It’s kind of like my own little investigation file. I like keeping track of these things.
