Welcome back lovely listeners, this week we are covering an older case which for all intents and purposes is solved, we know who did it, we know the motive, but legally, deemed unsolved due to lack of a perpetrator. It is a gripping story of a young romance gone horribly wrong, a young woman getting caught up with a walking red flag, which led to her untimely and brutal murder.
