Description

On Christmas Eve 1991 23 year old Dana Ireland went out for a ride using her sister’s bike while her family was in Hawaii for an extended vacation. But the picturesque life that the family had been enjoying would be ripped from under them when the bike Dana was riding was discovered mangled. The only trace of Dana left behind was her sneaker and a clump of her long blonde hair. Join me as I tell John about the murder of Dana Ireland, the convoluted search for the person who committed this heinous crime.
