In 1980, a father and son panning for gold in southwest Washington State came across a set of human remains at Fly Creek, northeast of Vancouver, WA. At the time, the medical examiner determined the bones came from a female. For almost forty years the remains, known only as Fly Creek Jane Doe, sat in a Clark County evidence locker for almost 40 years until a detective from the Clark County Sheriff's Office (WA.) had an epiphany.

In 2019, through DNA results and genealogical research, Detective, Lindsey Schultz helped Fly Creek Jane Doe reclaim her identity.

Sandra ("Sandy") Morden could have been anyone's daughter, sister, or friend. Last seen in the late spring of 1977, sometime between then and 1980, Sandy Morden was killed.

EP3: Serial Killer Investigative Czar: Richard "Dick" Kraske

Dick Kraske was the original overseer of two of the largest and most infamous serial killer investigations in history: In 1974, Lt. Kraske organized the 'Ted' investigation when two women disappeared from Lake Sammamish State Park, 20 minutes east of Seattle. Witnesses saw one of the women leave the park with a man, calling himself 'Ted', with his arm in a sling. A year later Ted Bundy was arrested in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1982, now Major Kraske experienced deja vu as five Seattle area prostitutes were found dead in and around the Green River.

Kraske reflects on those trying days and wonders on the still undiscovered and unidentified victims of Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer.
