NORWALK — The ABC News program 20/20 aired a local story about a cold case on national TV Friday that (convicted) podcaster Ashli Ford claims to have solved.

Some of Ford’s fiercest supporters claimed Ford would be heralded by the program for her work, while investigators and prosecutors have clearly said Ford was not of any assistance in Hicks’ arrest.

“Jeff Logan,” a woman who portrays a man at their Facebook page and promotes Ford’s portrayal of herself as a crime “investigator,” a “journalist” and “advocate,” on Wednesday announced the association at Facebook using exclamation points.
