Summary

1977 - Monroe, Connecticut UPDATE: This week brought a major development in the long-unsolved murder of 8-year-old Renee Freer, who was brutally killed behind her home in Monroe, Connecticut, in June 1977. After nearly 50 years, Renee's case has taken a stunning turn—and it’s not the resolution anyone wanted. The original episode on Renee Freer was released on March 25, 2025 in collaboration with the Monroe Police Dept. Revisit the episode at the link below. Original episode sources and photos: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.murdershetold.com/episodes/renee-freer⁠⁠⁠ Listen to the original episode: https://tinyurl.com/ReneeFreer Original show notes: "In June of 1977, on the eve of her last day of third grade, 8-year-old Renee Freer went outside to play and never came home. Hours later, her body was discovered in the woods near her house, shaking the tight-knit community of Monroe. Investigators exhausted every lead in their pursuit of justice for Renee, yet decades later, the case remains unsolved. But today’s detectives have one advantage their predecessors never did—21st-century technology. Armed with cutting-edge forensics and a renewed determination, they are closer than ever to unmasking her killer."
