Summary

In 1984, Angela Samota was a 20-year-old college student studying computer science and engineering at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Angela lit up every room she walked into and she was extremely intelligent, hard-working, and driven. But, in October of that year, Angie showed kindness to a stranger and let him inside her apartment to use the phone. Her boyfriend became worried when he couldn't reach her and called the police who found Angie inside. She had been raped and murdered.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Angie Samota. Angie's good friend at college was a woman named Sheila Wysocki and that's a name that many true crime fans may know. Sheila refused to give up on her friend and the search for her killer. She wouldn't let the police give up either. That hard work and persistence paid off in 2009 when DNA revealed the identity of Angie's killer. The killer turned out to be a man named Donald Bess, not someone closer to Angie as most people suspected.
