Episode 12: Helene Pruszynski In 1980, ambitious college student Helene Pruszynski was abducted from Englewood, Colorado. Her body was found in a remote field the next day. She had been raped and stabbed in the back. Police had multiple suspects, and a series of similar attacks, but were never able to gather enough information to arrest anyone. Decades later, a DNA profile from Helene’s crime scene would lead them to her killer. He was living thousands of miles away, using another name. A confiscated beer mug would prove to be his downfall, as his DNA linked him to the crime.

Pam Felkins

Episode 11 Pam Felkins In 1990, Pam Felkins was abducted from her job as a clerk at Crossroads Video in Faulkner County, Arkansas. She was taken in a 17 minute window, leaving her smoldering cigarette and warm coffee on the counter. Her body was found the next day. A maroon pickup truck with a white camper shell was seen in the area on the night she was abducted. There was a very good suspect in the case who was found to have a drawer of trophies hidden in his home – none of which were connected to Pam. Her case remained unsolved for decades until forensic genealogy pointed to her killer. And, this case has a possible connection to another, very famous Arkansas case – the disappearance of Morgan Nick.

Susan Eads

Episode 13: Susan Eads In 1983, ‘spitfire’ Susan Eads left a bar near Galveston, Texas with her friends and was dropped off at her car. The next day, it was found hastily parked, the door open, her things spilling out. And Susan was dead, naked in the bushes in a nearby vacant lot. She had been strangled with a garotte fashioned from her own clothes. There were several very intriguing suspects: rapists and murderers with the same MO who preyed on women in the area. But none of them killed Susan. It would take decades, and the wonders of forensic genealogy, to pin the crime on a man who had no known connection to Susan.
