In 1989, 18-year-old Mandy Stavik went out for a run near her home in rural Washington—and never returned. Her body was discovered days later in the Nooksack River, and for nearly three decades, the case remained unsolved, haunting the small community of Acme. In this episode, we dive deep into the chilling details of Mandy’s murder, the years of frustration and dead ends, and how one determined detective—and a bold DNA match—finally brought her killer to justice. This is the story of a beautiful young woman whose life was stolen, and the forensic breakthrough that helped her speak from beyond the grave.
