Anyone can be targeted by violent crime, including the pious. An upcoming full-fledged Catholic Nun, Sister Roberta Elam was an unlikely victim, but nonetheless, she was brutally strangled to death in a park near Mt. St. Joseph Mother House in Wheeling, West Virginia. She was in the midst of her silent meditation before taking vows in 1977, when she was silenced forever. This episode, Izzy and Harper lay down the foundation of the case: Sister Roberta's whereabouts and routine, as well as who the major suspect was in her sudden murder. Despite being a relatively sparse case from a time with little in the way of DNA evidence, there are more possibilities lying in wait. Stay tuned for part two, where more details and possible theories will be discussed.
