In 1988, 19-year-old Pamela Pitts was murdered, and her body was desecrated. There were odd twists in the case over the decades; perhaps the biggest twist was the controversial way the case was closed.

In this unique episode, which is more like our videos on our YouTube channel, Criminally Listed, we cover three cold cases that were eventually solved. In 1992, 25-year-old Juliette Rivera was brutally murdered. A bizarre twist finally closed the case. Lt. Joe Clark was murdered in his home in February 1981. It eventually became the oldest unsolved case of a law enforcement agent in the USA. Finally, in 1988, a tragic fire in Fort Wayne, Indiana, killed three brothers, Durell, Genayle, and Jermaine Mitchell. Decades later, the truth about the fire would finally be revealed. 

In August 1988, nine-year-old Dolana Clark went missing from Great Falls, Montana. A chance encounter years later finally resulted in the case being solved.

In this double feature, we look at the 1985 death of 13-year-old David Reed. The pathologist isn't sure if he was murdered, but his family knows something sinister happened to him. Who is right? Then in part two, we examine the 1977 murder of 29-year-old Doris Arndt. The police had a long-time suspect, and he was very well-known to the police. But was he the killer?

In February 1975, 9-year-old Marcia Trimble was murdered in Nashville, Tennessee. For decades, the police had a suspect: a boy who was just 15 when the murder was committed. But do the police have the right person? Sally Des Prez's murder was largely forgotten for decades. When her case was solved, it shocked the people of Nashville.

In July 1982, the dead body of a woman was found in Washoe County, Nevada. No one knew who she was, and she became known as the Sheep's Flat Jane Doe. Decades later, not only was she identified, but so was her killer, and it was a darker truth than anyone expected.
