Summary

Episode 8: Pamela Milam

In 1972, Indiana State University student Pam Milam went missing after a night of sorority rush events. She was last seen walking to her car on the ISU campus. Her car was found the next evening, parked in a different spot than where she left it. Her things were still in the vehicle. And unfortunately, Pam’s father and sister were the ones to open the trunk and find Pam. Although there was a prime suspect in the case, it remained unsolved for decades. Finally, through the use of forensic genealogy, investigators learned that the man who killed Pam was not the prime suspect after all, but someone else altogether. Someone not on police radar – in her case, anyway.
