Mandy Stavik was 18-years-old in November 1989.  She came home to visit during the Thanksgiving Holiday from her first year of college.  On the day after Thanksgiving Mandy set out for her usual 5 mile jog on a route she did countless times.  But when she didn't return home her family knew something wasn't right. 

The search lasted days until she was finally found in the Nooksack River.

Mandy's case would go unsolved for 30 years before a conversation at a waterpark would blow the case wide open.

Listen to her story now.
