218. Blame It On The Game: Mary Towey

On April 13, 1984, in a suburb of St Louis, Missouri, eighteen-year-old Mary Towey never showed up to the Friday the 13th party she was hosting at her parents' home.

Within a week, her body would be found, and her murderers arrested. Since it was the 80s, one of her killers would try to use the Satanic Panic to his advantage.
