A few months after Teryl Orcutt was murdered, a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper abducted a woman he'd stopped and then killed her before hiding her body in a remote area off the highway. He was looked at on Teryl's case due to similarities. Also in this episode, I speak with a woman who had a similar experience, but she got away.    *MUSIC CREDITS*   The Poison Tree/David Lynch Remix courtesy of  mobygratis.com

A week after Teryl went missing, her body was found about four miles down the same County Road where her abandoned car had been spotted by witnesses.   *MUSIC CREDITS*   The Poison Tree/David Lynch Remix courtesy of  mobygratis.com  

On January 21, 1990, Teryl Orcutt's 1989 red 2 door Ford Thunderbird was found abandoned on the side of County Road 218 in Middleburg Florida. The car was running, lights were on, purse inside vehicle, yet no sign of the driver. This season covers Teryl's unsolved homicide.
