On April 5, 1990, someone attacked and murdered 28-year-old Genevieve "Jenny" Zitricki in her Greenville, South Carolina apartment. The Greenville Police Department worked the case for years. We interviewed Lieutenant Tim Conroy about his experience investigating this disturbing case, the surprising clue that tied the murder to crimes in Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee, and the years-long effort to identify the culprit: serial killer Robert Eugene Brashers.
