Hello, listeners. I'm your host, Amora, and this is Black Girl Gone, a true crime podcast.

On this episode of Black Girl Gone, I'm telling this story of Robin Lawrence,

a 37-year-old mother, an artist,

who was brutally murdered in 1994.

She left behind a toddler,

a devastated family,

and a mystery that would haunt investigators

for nearly three decades.

For years, there was DNA.

There were theories.

There were questions.

But there was no name.

Until advances in forensic genealogy

and an unexpected confession changed everything.

This is Robin's story.

For two days, no one knew she was there.

A two-year-old little girl, alone.

The house was quiet, too quiet.

The blinds were drawn.

The phone rang and rang with no answer.

Inside, time had stopped.

A toddler moved through rooms that still held the violence of what had happened there.
