1974, Fort Worth, Texas - Carla Walker goes to a Valentine's Dance with her boyfriend. Afterward, they stop at a bowling alley so she can use the restroom. Once back in her boyfriend's car, they begin making out, when, out of nowhere, the passenger side door flies open and Carla is ripped away from him forever. The case was cold up until recently, when DNA made a big change with Forensic Genetic Genealogy. 

Raven and guest co-host Professor Mandy McNeely take a look at this case on Valentine's Day, the anniversary. They discuss the possibility that her killer is also a serial killer, and Raven gets to sit down with David and Kristen Mittelman from Othram Labs, Inc., to talk about how they helped solve this case.
