Sidnee Stephens and Carol Deleon
Episode description
Today, we discuss two smaller cases whose stories, we believe, need to be told.
Sidnee Stephens was a 15 year old high school student who loved tagging along with her big sister, Dakota. Sadly, in July of 2010, Sidnee was found shot to death in a river under a bridge. The investigation that unfolds leads police to a sinister group of people that conspired to murder.
Carol Deleon was an 18 year old high school grad that went out on the town to celebrate. She went missing from a club in 1981 and was never seen again. In 2010 a Texas Jane Doe was identified as Carol. But who brutally murdered her so many years before? This is a wild ride through multiple DNA tests and genealogy specialists that finally lead to an answer, 42 years later.
Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the cases of Sidnee Stephens and Carol Deleon.
