To many members of the public, the mystery of Laurie Depies’ disappearance was resolved in 2010 when convicted kidnapper and suspected serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall admitted to abducting and murdering Laurie. But, for investigators seeking truth in the case, Hall’s confession simply wasn’t enough. He would not - or perhaps could not - provide details that would lead to evidence corroborating his account, a critical step for detectives.

Investigators continued to work the case in search of answers, looking into other suspects who - in many respects - were just as likely to have committed the crime. One of those suspects is David Frank Spanbauer.
