In August 1975, a pair of fishermen discovered the body of a 17-year-old girl floating in a river. Police initially believe the girl accidentally drowned. But an autopsy would later show something far more sinister may have happened. More than four decades later, detectives finally catch a break. Can DNA advancements finally bring her killer, or killers, to justice? Join Olivia Cornu and John Conner as they dive deep into the dark to discuss the murder of Laurel Jean Mitchell. Will this case be enough to make you check the locks?
