Episode 23 Linda Ann O’Keefe
In 1973, 11 year old Linda Ann O’Keefe was abducted, sexually assaulted and strangled as she walked home from summer school in Newport Beach, California. Her body was dumped in shallow marshy water among the cattails along Back Bay. Early suspects failed to pan out, and leads went cold. Her killer, who left his DNA behind at the scene, was not identified until more than 40 years later through forensic genealogy. And he was still alive – and had molested several more young girls along the way. But in the end, he eluded justice.
