For years, Tony Strombeck served as the town marshal of the tranquil, lakeside community of North Webster, Indiana. Over the years, one case came to haunt him. That was the 1975 abduction, rape, and murder of 17-year-old Laurel Jean Mitchell.

Sadly, Tony died in 2020, before there was a break in the case. But we were fortunate enough to speak with his daughter and grandson, who continue to continue his legacy by serving their communities.

This episode is not only a profile on a longtime lawman. It's a reflection of the ripple effect that a heinous murder can have over the years.
