Episode 59: The Unexplained Death of Olivia Jane Ward
When 16-year-old Olivia "Janie" Ward died after a fall at a teen party in the woods, her family began a decades long search to find out what really happened to her on that night.
With conflicting autopsies, "misplaced" records, and eyewitness statements that create more questions than answers, Janie's death sadly remains as much a mystery today as it was 35 years ago.
