In November 1995, Carolyn Killaby disappeared after a night out in Vancouver, Washington. Her car was found days later outside a bar with no signs of struggle—only a cryptic note and growing concern from family and friends. As detectives retraced her steps, all signs pointed to one man: a convicted killer with a violent past and a trail of blood he couldn’t fully erase.
What followed was a high-stakes investigation involving forensic breakthroughs, shifting alibis, and a fugitive who vanished just as charges were closing in. Even with a conviction secured, one question remains unanswered: where is Carolyn Killaby?
This episode examines one of Washington’s most chilling cases—where justice came close, but not all the answers were found.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
