In November 2020, a man named William Miller was arrested in Oregon and extradited to Arkansas for the murder of Rebekah Gould. Miller is the cousin of Casey McCullough, Rebekah’s boyfriend whose family owned the trailer where she was murdered. While this is a big step towards justice for Rebekah, much remains unknown about the facts of the case and the evidence against her accused killer.
In May 2021, Jen and her husband, Jesse, made a trip back to Arkansas. In the eighth episode of this season, hear from Rebekah’s dad, Dr. Larry Gould, about his reaction to Miller’s arrest as well as Jen and George’s interaction with Miller in their Facebook group in the months leading up to his arrest. Also hear from some of the people who closely followed Rebekah’s case over the years and dedicated endless hours behind the scenes helping Jen and George throughout their investigation. The episode also pays tribute to one of Rebekah’s biggest advocates who, unfortunately, will not be able to see her killer brought to justice.
