September 4, 1993. Plano, Texas. While attending a soccer game at Carpenter Park with her family, seven-year old Ashley Estell goes missing after an apparent abduction. The following day, Ashley is found strangled to death next to an isolated dirt road six miles away. The investigation soon leads to a paroled sex offender named Michael Blair, who is subsequently convicted of Ashley’s murder and sentenced to death. However, as the years go by, the case against Blair begins to fall apart and DNA testing eventually exonerates him of the crime. So who was actually responsible for the murder of Ashley Estell? This week’s episode of “The Path Went Chilly” explores a controversial case which led to the passing of some new laws, but failed to bring the right perpetrator to justice.Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:<a href="https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2001/june/did-this-creep-really-kill-ashley-estell/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2001/june/did-this-creep-really-kill-ashley-estell/</a><a href="https://www.innocenceproject.org/cases/michael-blair/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.innocenceproject.org/cases/michael-blair/</a><a href="https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=3030" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=3030</a><a href="https://starlocalmedia.com/planocourier/news/plano-who-is-ashley-estell-s-killer/article_8e1b99a3-3e0f-5db7-ba5f-56db0ae7ea7b.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://starlocalmedia.com/planocourier/news/plano-who-is-ashley-estell-s-killer/article_8e1b99a3-3e0f-5db7-ba5f-56db0ae7ea7b.html</a>
