This episode was originally released on 07/08/2024. We're re-releasing it today in the hopes that someone, somewhere, knows information about Terri Lynn McCloskey's unsolved murder.

When 26 year-old Yurok Tribal Member Terri Lynn goes missing, no one could understand why anyone would have wanted to hurt this bright young woman. But nearly 40 years later, many questions remain. Where is the police file on Terri Lynn? Who allegedly confessed to her killing? And what do 17 nearby murders possibly have to do with Terri Lynn's case?
