Podcast Title: District Attorney Ben David Speaks 
On July 30, 2006, 34-year-old Allison Jackson Foy is last seen in Wilmington, North Carolina leaving the Junction Billiards Sports Bar where she spent the night drinking with a friend. The bartender calls a cab for Allison, the cab driver shows up at the pub around 2:00 am. Foy never returns home and has not been heard from since. In April 2008, two years after she originally went missing, Allison’s body was found in a ravine on a road called Carolina Beach Road. 
In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, talks with the District Attorney, Ben David, on his experience with the cases of Allison Foy, and “Angela”.  He goes into extensive detail about Michelle’s success story regarding the same suspect in Allison's Foy’s and Angela’s case, and why it took old school police work to do the job. Ultimately, DA Ben David gives much detail as to why it’s easy to point the finger at who isn’t doing their job…but it takes just enough evidence to prove without a reasonable doubt.
