I really heard my mom scream like a scream that I never heard before.

And she said, Darlene has been murdered and it was like, no, oh my god, oh my god, no.

She didn't deserve to die like that. And I felt that I needed to do something.

On October 17th, 1978, 38-year-old Darlene Hines was found raped and murdered in her raft tub.

She didn't have any enemies. She wasn't leading any kind of secret double life.

She was a dental hygienist living in a small town that had only seen a handful of murders in the

last 20 years. Her brutal killing was as shocking as it was frustrating for investigators.

While the detectives were shocked and frustrated, Darlene's family was completely devastated.

One family member in particular, Darlene's cousin, Cheryl Cowan's, was determined to find the

killer and bring him to justice. But despite Cheryl's dog a determination, it would take another two

decades for investigators to uncover not one, but two credible suspects, two suspects who seemed

equally capable of committing such a heinous crime. And two suspects that Darlene had the misfortune

of working with, side by side, every day. In 2001, when DNA evidence connects the murder to

his victim, investigators are able to move in on one of their suspects. But a legal loophole could

jeopardize the entire case. From A&E, this is Cold Case Files the podcast. I'm Brooke,

and here's Bill Curtis with a classic case, a cousin's promise.

I was very proud of the community. 288 units, garden-style apartments. It was a nice area.
