Wow, this story about the Steffen Baldwin fingerprint link in Maura Murray's cold case disappearance has legs. Here's an interview with Detective Jim Conroy, the lead investigator in Baldwin's fraud/animal cruelty case.
Conroy's investigative efforts ultimately led to Baldwin's conviction on 32 counts, and prison sentence of 15 1/2 years.
Baldwin, working with 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan, argued after the trial ended that the state violated its duty to turn over exculpatory evidence because prosecutors didn't tell him Conroy had some old personnel complaints in other police agencies. It wasn't clear whether the prosecutors even knew about it. Logan, an aggressive Baldwin supporter, apparently found the information by googling Conroy. (Logan also worked to harass and embarrass other witnesses against Baldwin, including Litsa Kargakos and Dr. Saskia Boisot, by posting about unrelated litigation and gossip about their personal lives.)
Logan then agitated for a "mistrial" on her Paw Protectors page, and Baldwin posted mysteriously about this supposedly explosive evidence that had allegedly been withheld. (If the information was really so good for Baldwin, and even Sharon Logan could find it, you'd think his defense would have found it on their own.)
Ultimately, the court reopened the trial a few months later just to take evidence on that issue. It sure doesn't seem to have helped Baldwin. But at least it eliminates an issue on appeal.
True crime reporter James Renner, who broke the fingerprint connection, is also interviewed. (Listen, and tell us he doesn't totally sound like Will Forte in "Bodkin.")
