Description

On April 26, 1993, a young woman is murdered in Alaska in a dorm bathroom. It would take almost 30 years for the killer to be found. How was he eventually caught? We also take a detour to read some 'Florida Man' headlines, and we also learn about the first time the insanity defense was successfully used in the US.
