Episode 166 Opal Weil Part 1 of 2 

In January 1987, 82 year old Opal Weil was slain in her St. Petersburg, FL home. The crime scene reflected a burglary, with Opal's wedding ring pulled off her finger.  Within a week, it happened again. Octogenarian Eleanor Swift's home, just 6 miles from Opal's, was burgled, she was killed, and her wedding ring taken.  A third victim in the same month survived, but remembered nothing.  The cases, quickly connected in the eyes of the investigators, went cold, despite a large number of suspects being considered.  Hairs found at Opal's crime scene, distinct from her own, would prove to be the key to an IGG analysis, and a suspect was finally identified and arrested for her murder in 2023.  But that is not the end of the story.
