Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, D'Lia Diambra. And the case I'm going to tell you about today

takes place near land between the lake's national recreation area, close to the Tennessee-Kentucky border.

This region is more commonly known as LBL, and it's a destination with a reputation for having

lots of recreational activities.

It spans 170,000 acres of wetlands, open lands, and undeveloped forests,

which, I don't know about you, sounds like a dream to me.

Annually, around 1.5 million visitors come here to fish, camp, picnic, birdwatch, go boating, and hike. There are more than

500 miles of trails which are open all year long, weather permitting. If you drive about 45 to 50

minutes southeast of the Park Central Visitor Center, you'll end up in the city of Dover, which is located in Stewart County, Tennessee.

And it's there, in the fall of 1980, that a baffling crime happened that would change a number of

people's lives forever. Two half-sisters playing hooky from school vanished without a trace.

Weeks later, their bodies would be found miles from home

in the LBL. But to this day, the truth about what really happened to them and who came

across their path remains unsolved. But that could be changing. Because you see, I'm not the only

journalist who's become obsessed with this case.

There's an entire investigative series podcast about this story called Murder at Land

Between the Lakes, which is hosted by Amelia Courtney and Lainey Sullivan. If you want to go even

deeper into this case, check out their podcast because it's super in-depth.

Amelia is very close with the victim's surviving family members, and she was immensely helpful

in bringing me up to speed so that I could complete my own coverage of this case.

And let me tell you, even though there's limits to what you can find out about this crime

on the internet, I'm told there are plenty of people
