L&O: She didn't die on 9/11. She was MURDERED!

Briscoe and Green investigate a skeleton with a diamond ring on her right hand and her left one missing. The detectives are shocked to learn it's Kelly Sommers, whose left hand and purse were discovered years earlier at Ground Zero. The detectives trace the ring to a Senator's son who'd been having an affair with Kelly. Lenny and Ed learn Bradley Hagen took his mistress to dinner on the night of September 10th. McCoy prosecutes the son of Branch's biggest campaign contributor. Kelly's fiancé identifies the handbag she took to work on September 11th, but Southerlyn realizes it's a night-on-the-town bag and not a go-to-work bag. They realize it was the fiancé who killed Kelly, left her hand at the World Trade Center, and collected a fortune in 9/11 reparations.   We're talking about Law & Order season 13 episode 5 "The Ring." Our guest from our July 29, 2020 episode is the author of the Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows series Leigh Bardugo. The episode is based on the ripped-from-the-headlines story of Sneha Anne Philip.   New episodes of These Are Their Stories will return July 8! For exclusive content from Kevin and Rebecca, sign up on Patreon.This show was recorded in The Caitlin Rogers Project Studio.
