On February 13, 1993, Lynn Dejac called 911 to tell the police that her boyfriend was in her home and refused to leave. He left before the police arrived and then so did Lynn, leaving her two children home alone overnight. What happened that night would take 13 years to untangle though the official answer remains in dispute. 

This case is unsolved.

That other place may be key to cracking this cold case.

I covered the case of fugitive Sharon Kinne back in July of 2021. She was last seen in December 1969 when she escaped from prison. A suspect in 3 murders, she stayed on the run all these years. A tip from December 2023 unlocked some of the mysteries of where she went.

Don't worry, I give a quick recap of the case before we get to the update so you don't have to go back and listen to the original episode.

In 1979 and 1980, three women were murdered with links to the same scene–the streets of Fall River and/or a Satanic cult. Decades after three people went to prison for these crimes, we’re still asking: did the court system get it all wrong?

This case is disputed.
