In the festive glow of the holidays, tragedy struck an Iowa family when their 18-year-old daughter was viciously murdered at Cedar Rapids' Westdale Mall in 1979. The case, a haunting mystery for over forty years, was finally cracked not by conventional means but by the victim herself, through DNA evidence she grabbed. This chilling story of loss, unresolved until recently, reminds us that even in despair, justice can eventually shine through.
