Episode 49 Pamela Maurer Part 1 of 2 In 1976, 16 year old Pam Maurer stepped out on a snowy winter night in Lisle, Illinois – and never returned. Her body was found the next day, dumped along a country road. No one could think of anyone who wished Pam harm, and her case went cold very quickly. Many persons of interest were ruled out over the years – but not until investigators performed forensic genealogy did they learn who Pam's killer was. But he had not killed only Pam. When investigators identified the killer of Pam Maurer, they were shocked to learn that he was suspected in a dozen other murders and a number of rapes. Not until Bruce Lindahl was conclusively proven by modern investigators to be Pam's killer was he labeled a serial killer who preyed on women and girls in the western Chicago suburbs throughout the 1970s – and many cases are still unsolved.
