This is Linda Glantz. She is a rape survivor who has been working exclusively with host and producer Jule Banville to tell her story. It happened in 1987, when a man broke into her house through a bathroom window.  That event led to a rush to convict a troubled 18-year-old boy. He would serve nearly 15 years for a crime he did not commit—until post-conviction DNA testing got him exonerated. But the story doesn’t end there. A man matching the DNA found in Linda's bedroom faced charges, but never went to trial. That man still lives about one hour from where Linda and her husband now reside.

This podcast introduces the stories of the people involved and the places they live. It investigates how this crime, and others like it, expose larger problems with the justice system as it pushes to test a mounting backlog of rape kits against expired statutes of limitation.
