Marise was only 9 years old when she was brutally murdered in Hazleton, Pennsylvania in 1964. Despite being found the same day that she disappeared, Marise's murder was unsolved for FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS. Just this year, in 2022, her killer was found through DNA testing. This is the fourth oldest cold case to be solved using genetic genealogy in the United States and the oldest in the state of Pennsylvania.

The Hate Crimes of Alexander Giannakakis
Christine opens up the episode with a new segment. Each week, we will be briefly reporting on a recent missing child case, as we all feel that it is important to spread awareness for cases that may not be getting the recognition they deserve.
During the main segment this week, Kate tackles a couple of different hate crimes relating to the arsons of several Jewish-affiliated buildings. She also goes over some very interesting aspects of how hate crimes are charged and categorized. If someone commits a hate crime, is it also a hate crime if a person covers for them?
Rachael (who is Jewish) leads an important discussion on acts of anti-semitism that she and others have faced.
