Summary
In 1973, a double homicide shocked Billings, Montana. A young couple was found murdered in their locked home. They had no enemies, yet clues at the scene told police that their killer was not a stranger. And things he took away with him indicated that he had a personal interest in one of his victims. But the clues left behind and trophies taken were not enough to help investigators to zero in on the killer. Four and a half decades later, DNA and forensic genealogy finally answered the question: who killed Cliff and Linda Bernhardt?

| 1:12.3 | Around 7.15 a.m., June, Reich looked out at the beautiful, fresh snowfall that blanketed the Montana topography. |
