Christina Skates thought she was killing time.

The 23-year-old biology student was scrolling through Cemetery Records on a quiet afternoon in 2014,

when the line 82483 stopped her cold.

And on that line was a date of death, February 5, 1975.

And beside the date was a name. But it wasn't a name. It just said, unknown, white, female,

bones. So Christina just stared, puzzled. Someone had been murdered, buried, without identity, and

completely forgotten. As she later put it, quote, it was in the back of my mind for a couple months every day,

thinking this isn't right.

This isn't how things should be.

What Christina couldn't know was that her inability to let go would set off a chain reaction spanning years and continents.

A single college student's curiosity would mobilize internet strangers, expose massive system failures,

and ultimately solve a decades-old cold case that stumped police for generations.

So this is that story, how one haunting line in a cemetery ledger became a digital crusade to give a nameless murder victim her identity back.

Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder.

All things that I love to consume, and I know you do too, you sick, twisted, beautiful, intellectually minded.

And today, we are doing just that.

We're getting into a case that is extremely interesting because my good friends over

at Reddit solved a dang cold case.

And it is an extremely interesting case.

So without further ado, let's unbuckle our seatbelts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the

brakes, and bust through this windshield into this solved hold case together.

To Christina Skates had always been drawn to mysteries, hiding in plain sight.
