Introducing - The Devil's Quarry II: Preview

I'm very agnostic when it comes to things like s- spaceships and God.

I look more for evidence.

That's Anthony DePippo, our protagonist from season one.

As a man who taught himself the law in prison, Anthony's all about facts.

But six years ago when someone slipped him Robin's case file, he caught a chill on the back of his neck.

I feel like, um, you know, like when I get spooked, it's authentic.

He was sitting in the study of his penthouse apartment, which he'd purchased with a chunk of the $12 million payout for his wrongful conviction in the murder of 12-year-old Josette Wright.

Now, Anthony's a big man, six foot five and 300 pounds easy.

But while reading through that scene, he heard a loud bang behind him and catapulted out of his chair.

And the picture had fell over, and it got a dent in it, and I got spooked.

In his parlor, he saw a scene from a paranormal flick.

His favorite painting had dropped off the wall and been gashed by a selfie stick.

It was a portrait of Anthony and his hero, Hulk Hogan.

That stick had opened a gouge over the Hulkster's eye.

If ghosts are phantoms with unfinished business, Robin Murphy had just dropped her card off.

I'm bugging out.

This is really kinda scary, and I didn't look at it anymore that night.

I first met Anthony six years ago, around the time he got hold of Robin's file.

My deep-dive feature in Rolling Stone helped acquit his best friend, Andy Krivak, who'd also been falsely convicted of Josette's murder.

Anthony's false conviction for her murder was the pinch point of his life, but then a second girl vanished in the span of six months in the sleepy little town of Carmel, New York.

Now, Anthony knew that the job wasn't done.

Josette's killer was still out there, and the man who disappeared Robin as well.

In Anthony's mind, the same man was responsible for both girls, the Devil of Putnam County.

And so last year, he asked me to return with my shovel.

He handed me a copy of Robin's case file.
