In March of 1993, 30-year-old Lori Lee Malloy was found dead in her East Providence apartment. The scene was disturbing: bruises on her body, hair torn out in clumps, and signs of a violent struggle. Detectives initially treated it as a homicide. But within days, the state medical examiner declared Lori’s death the result of “natural causes,” specifically a rare heart condition. That single ruling closed the case, despite evidence that pointed to foul play. For decades, Lori’s daughter, Lauren, believed what officials told her—that her mother’s heart simply stopped. But in 2020, she learned the truth: the evidence never supported the ruling. Since then, Lauren has fought to reopen the case, pushing for new forensic testing and national attention. Thirty years later, Lori Malloy’s story remains unresolved, but her daughter’s relentless search may finally bring answers—and justice.

This episode unpacks the evidence, the forensic controversies, and the relentless determination of a daughter who refuses to let her mother’s story fade.
