This was the episode that made me realize that hosting and producing FBI Retired Case File Review had become a mission for me. Coincidentally, October 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic incident.

But had the legal system worked like it was supposed to, the man who took her never should have been walking free that night to enter her home.
