Amateur Sleuth Helps Reinvigorate 24-Year-Old Murder Case

Every big murder case has a few amateur sleuths, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says Dave Sale is different. The rock musician’s obsession with a 1990 murder case has actually granted him with access to court documents, and his knowledge of the details has lent him an air of authority in the case. After he suggested a key piece of evidence was planted, a judge and an appeals court eventually agreed, tossing the evidence from the case.
