Police Find a Note in Her Purse and Never Ask About It
A woman is found stabbed to death in a field, her purse still on her shoulder, containing a handwritten note to a man named Matt. Despite this crucial evidence, police never questioned him about it, leaving a 37-year-old murder unsolved. What secrets did that note hold?
In this episode, we analyze the perplexing case of Peggy Hetrick, a woman with a vibrant life cut short, and the critical piece of evidence that was seemingly ignored. We explore the details of her final hours and the enduring questions surrounding her death.
