Crystal Perry was a mother from Bridgton, Maine whose brutal 1994 stabbing murder went unsolved for over a decade, traumatizing her 12-year-old daughter who discovered the body. DNA from the crime scene eventually identified Michael Hutchinson—a neighbor with a violent past—leading to his conviction and life sentence in 2007. The case highlights the power of forensic science in solving cold cases and the lasting impact such horror has on a family and small town.
