Episode 14 Gwen Miller
In 1968, Gwen Miller was an independent, professional older woman living in Rapid City, South Dakota. No one saw or heard a thing when someone broke into her home and attacked and killed her in her own bed. The killer left the crime scene pristine, tidying up and slipping out into the night. Despite there being a prime suspect whom the investigators were convinced had killed Gwen, there were no arrests. Her case went unsolved for 51 years, until forensic genealogy was able to predict the surname of the murderer. And the man who killed her had only the most remote known connection to Gwen. We can only guess at what dark forces drove him to invade her home and rape and murder her on that leap year day, so many decades ago.
