I hoped for a bit more from Detective Con in this episode. It didn't look like and wasn't run like any convention I've been to.
In fact, true to the episode title, the story was about an innocent man who was executed for a crime he didn't commit. He had confessed, though, because he didn't want to admit where he really was. His alleged crime took place in the fifties, and his ghost still wanted to protect someone.
This ties into the convention because Nancy "borrowed" old police files for Laci, host of the Premeditated Murder podcast. Laci had a personal interest in the old murder, and she told Nancy she'd give up the name of the frozen heart killer in exchange for the box of effects from the 50s.
Laci and Nancy decide to do a panel format talking about the Frozen Heart killer, as they think he's in the crowd. They demean him and his methods hoping he will give himself away. On a break, Nancy "heads outside to her car" to get something through a spooky basement, and of course the killer is right behind her.
I would have preferred more time spent at Detective Con and some more cat and mouse with the Frozen Hearts killer there.
A worthy separate episode would have been the unjust death and unquiet ghost whose life came to an end in the 50s.
