Over seven episodes, our reporting explored questions that the original investigation never delved into. Host Al Letson and reporter Jonathan Jones interviewed the key people in the investigation, including Billey Joe Johnson’s ex-girlfriend – the first recorded interview she’s ever done with a media outlet. The team also shared its findings with lead investigator Joel Wallace and the medical examiner who looked into the case.

Finally, after three years of reporting, we go back to Mississippi and share what we’ve learned with Johnson’s family.

That’s how many people traveled from out of state to access abortion in Florida last year. Before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, we took listeners to Florida while it was still holding strong as one of the last bastions of abortion access in the South.
