Jeff Abramowski reached out his hand moments after being escorted by a Brevard County Sheriff's deputy from incarceration into the lobby of the county jail where family members were eagerly waiting for him. "John," he said softly, his voice tinged with emotion. "I owe you my life. I do."He doesn't, of course. He will never owe me anything. I'm just glad to have played a part in his 23-year quest for freedom.

For years, so many things about Jeff Abramowski's murder conviction didn't seem right that I decided to dedicate season 4 of my Murder on the Space Coast podcast to this case. That podcast set off a chain of events six years in the making.
