Listen for: The chilling letter from the killer confessing his crimes and expressing suicidal intent; police details about the killer's methods and profile; the questioning of the sparse inhabitants of the isolated area.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
