Highland Park Mass Shooting Mystery - Part 3

Trevor Aaronson's Audible Original series is released a mere 4 days before Bobby’s trial, violating a gag order in the process. But why?

Before you begin, make sure to read Part 1 and Part 2!

The trial of Robert Eugene Crimo III was just four days away. How could it already be February of 2025? While it felt like only a few moments had passed, it had, in fact, been 2 years, 6 months, and 16 days since the fateful day of the mass shooting in Highland Park. It had simultaneously been the longest and the shortest 2 and a half years of my entire life. I had been so busy with my investigation into the 764 network that I hadn’t thought about the Highland Park investigation in months, and I needed to reorient myself to the case.

My reorientation got a kick start when Ken Silva sent me a link to Trevor Aaronson’s new podcast. I was shocked. Just a few months prior, Trevor blew me off by saying it was a long-term project, and I had assumed it would be released sometime after Bobby’s trial. I immediately dropped what I was doing and began to listen to the Audible Original podcast, which was comprised of 7 chapters and totaled over 4 and a half hours in length. I glanced at the clock and noticed it was already 2pm. It was going to be a long afternoon.
