In 2004, Yolanda Bindics, a 25-year-old mother of four, mysteriously disappeared from Jamestown, New York, leaving her family and community searching for answers. Her remains were discovered two years later, but the case remains unsolved. New developments in Yolanda's case just this month have brought investigators closer than ever to delivering justice for her family.
