The audio begins in the thin light of an early evening as the city exhales — trams clicking, river current nudging the quay — and you press play. Voices populate the sidewalks: a commander with a gruff edge, witnesses with half-truths, and a case file that dares you to connect the dots. The route threads ten mapped locations that slice through Wilmington’s downtown and riverfront, letting streets and storefronts become the crime scene.
