Andrew Sherm spent his entire childhood, terrified of a man his family thought was responsible for his mother, Jennifer Lynnirm's disappearance.

Even the sight of this man's photo

sent handy into panic attacks.

Laying there on the kitchen table

was that picture of that dude. I lost it and I ran, ran into the back room and I ran in this closet.

I shut the door. They could not get me out of that closet. I think I was

there for like three or four hours and anytime they'd open the door I would just

scream at the top of my lungs because I was immobilized with fear.

But as Andy got older he'd learned that his mother hadn't just been taken,

she'd been murdered. It wouldn't be until decades later that he'd find out that the man his family referred to as A L E X hadn't been his mother's murderer at all.

Even as an adult, Andy knew very little when it came to the details

of his mother's homicide, just the basics covered in newspaper articles, and the minimal

information his family told him.

Anything else he'd learned about who'd done it and why were just rumors and speculation.

Over the years, police identified several suspects in Jennifer's murder investigation, even making two arrests.

Yet still close to 40 years later, the question still remains who killed Jennifer.
