Summary

In the early 1980s, several girls went missing in the Salem, Oregon area. Some disappeared with hardly a trace while others turned up dead. An 18-year-old recent high school graduate disappeared while delivering pizzas on the night of July 4th, 1982 leaving behind her car with the engine still running. The hunt for her abductor would lead those working on the case down many paths, but no one expected how it would be connected to multiple murders years later. In today’s episode, we explore the cases of Sherry Eyerly, Rebecca Darling, Katherine Redmond, and Terry Monroe; four young women who were taken when their lives were just beginning.

0:00.0	Once again, a huge hug. Hello, thank you. We love you to our newest Patreon supporters,
0:08.6	Nicole S. Linda I. and Jean S. from Portland, Oregon. Heidi B. and Autumn G. from Salem, Oregon.
0:15.9	Sarah M. from Wisherm, Washington. K-Lean R. from Plantation, Florida. Thank you guys so much. Your support means everything to us.
0:24.6	And if you want to hear your beautiful name, leave our beautiful mouths.
0:30.4	Then sign up at patreon.com and search for murder and anything.
0:37.4	I'm Emily Rowney and I'm Alicia Holland. This is Bill Camp, the voice of forensic files too, on HLN.
0:44.4	And you're listening to Murder in the Rain.
0:49.4	In the early 1980s, several girls went missing in the Salem, Oregon area. Some disappeared with hardly a trace while others turned up dead.
1:02.4	An 18-year-old recent high school graduate disappeared while delivering pizzas on the night of July 4, 1982, leaving behind her car with the engine still running.
1:13.4	The hunt for her abductor would lead those working on the case down many paths, but no one expected how it would be connected to multiple murders years later.
1:22.4	In today's episode, we explore the cases of Sheri Eierli, Rebecca Darling, and Catherine Redman, three young women who were taken when their lives were just beginning.
1:33.4	Alicia, as you know, we cover many episodes for Patreon.
1:37.4	Sometimes the cases don't have murder or they don't have a ton of information online, so they make for the perfect 15-20-minute episodes.
1:45.4	On occasion, they get a little bit longer, but for the most part, they're bite size.
1:49.4	Now, I know it's happened to you, but sometimes what we think is a mini turns into a full-length episode, because you end up stumbling up so many times.
1:56.4	They're like, oh yeah, there's not a whole lot to this.
1:59.4	Oh, just kidding.
2:00.4	Well, that's what happened to me with this case.
2:02.4	What I thought was just a cold case that was finally solved ended up being much more pervasive than anticipated, and I thought it would make a great episode for today.
2:11.4	And it's like it's meant to be because the case happened to take place on the 4th of July, and this episode is airing just two days after our Independence Day in 2021.
2:22.4	Now, our Patreon listeners are also aware that for the last few months, I've been really into doing what I call the Welcome 2 series, where I select a city or town that won or more Patreon listeners live in, I find a crime, and I tell you about it.
2:35.4	And I believe we even talked about that a little bit in our anniversary episode.
