Join us as we journey into the heart of Midwestern America, where the echoes of a chilling crime reverberated for decades.  In this episode, we delve into the haunting mystery surrounding the life and tragic death of 18-year-old Michelle Martinko, a vibrant young woman whose promising future was brutally extinguished six days before Christmas in 1979.  As we unravel the threads of this perplexing case, we'll explore the enigma of Michelle herself—her dreams, her passions, and the profound impact she had on those around her. We'll follow the tireless efforts of law enforcement officers and her family and friends, who had dedicated years to seeking justice for Michelle.
