In July 1991, a janitor discovered burned remains in a dumpster in Vancouver. The remains were so damaged by the fire that dental records were the only possible method of identification. The remains were those of a missing woman named Mary-Lynn Breeden. Bank surveillance footage and questioning an accomplice led investigators to the man they believed killed Mary-Lynn. To convict him, scientists would have to find a source of DNA that had never been used before. Hosts: Colleen O’Brien, Erica White. Audio Supervisor: Tommy O’Brien. Theme Music: 'The Drama' by Rafael Krux (orchestralis.net).

In 1986, Susan Snow died after taking Excedrin capsules contaminated with cyanide.

Her husband Bruce had recently died, and Stella insisted his death be re-investigated in light of Sue’s death.
