Grab a beer and join us as Kat talks to us about the tragic and brutal murder of Mary Anne Holmes, a 29-year-old single mother who was violently attacked in her own home in Thatcher, Arizona. On the night of July 9th, 1995, an unknown assailant broke into Mary Anne's house, subjecting her to unspeakable horrors while her two young daughters were present. We'll explore the details of that fateful night, the investigation that followed, and the lasting impact on her family and the community. Despite the passing of time, the case remains unsolved, leaving us to wonder who could have committed such a heinous act. Join us as we remember Mary Anne Holmes and search for answers in this haunting case.
