Summary

Episode 40 Linda Slaten Part 2 of 2

In 1981, Linda Slaten was a single mom struggling to raise her two young sons on her own. Her boys Jeff and Tim would soon find themselves without a mother when one night, someone climbed in Linda’s bedroom window and raped and murdered her. There were suspects everywhere, including two convicted murderers, three ex-husbands, two would-be suitors, a boyfriend – and Linda’s own son. None of them killed her. When forensic genealogy finally uncovered the name of the person who so brutally cut Linda’s life short, it was truly a shock to Jeff and Tim. He was someone they knew – or thought they did.
