On the evening of August 10, 2004, Yolanda Bendix, a 25-year-old mother of four, worked

the closing shift at the Family Dollar in Jamestown, New York.

After closing the store, Yolanda spoke to her brother on the phone and said she'd stop

by his place within an hour.

But she never showed up, and no one ever saw Yolanda alive again.

Just over two years later, Yolanda's skeletal remains were found in a wooded area around

16 miles from Jamestown.

It was determined that she had been murdered.

It's been 19 years since Yolanda's disappearance, and investigators are still searching for her killer.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Detective Perspective.

My name is Derek Lavasser.

I'm a former police detective and licensed private investigator, and each week I'll be

covering an unsolved case and story format.

I'll then give you my perspective on the investigation and provide contact information

for the individuals or organizations connected to the case so that if you have any leads,

you can contact them directly, and maybe you can help solve a case.

As I said before, guys, this is the type of case that I'm going to cover each and every

week.

So if you're someone who's interested in true crime, specifically unsolved cases, and

you would like to hear my opinion on those investigations, please consider subscribing

to the channel, whether you're watching on YouTube, or listening on Apple Podcast,

or Spotify, or whatever platform you use.
