A girl born into a world that didn't want her, showing her from a young age just what she meant to the people around her... nothing. Equipped with a lack of trust, a lack of capability to bond with anyone but herself, and the notion that everyone she crosses paths with is out to get in her in one way or another. Aileen Carol Wuornos was born on February 29, 1956, a date many would think would cause her to be a lucky person but for Aileen, the only kind of luck on her side was bad luck...

Looking into the sudden disappearance of Jennifer Kesse you are presented with 50 leads, like a fork in the road, you have to choose one to go down and look at what makes sense and what seems completely out of the question based on the short timeline and what her parents have taught us about their daughter.

Now a possible witness steps forward and tells us of her interaction with Jennifer and something that could prove to be even more sinister than originally thought...

Jennifer Joyce Kesse was just 24 years old when she vanished without a trace. Her family immediately took action with the hopes to find their loved one. 16 years later her face is still seen on missing person flyers around Orlando, her name is still spoken on investigative television shows and podcasts just like this one and still, no one knows what happened to this beautiful and young woman. The person to dump her car less than a mile from her condo is labeled the "Luckiest Person of Interest Ever". No one knows what happened to Jennifer and no one is giving up on finding her.

Robert Durst passed away January 10, 2022 days shy of the 40th anniversary of his wife going missing... foul play was suspected, and if anyone had opportunity and cause it would be none other than Robert Durst. But without a body or murder weapon, we can only speculate what happened that night of January 31, 1982.

When the most unlikely person surfaces to help the Green River Task Force in their drive to stop the man creating terror in the King County area of Washington State, investigators have more than curiosity plaguing them with this offer for aide. There could be something here to learn and with the studies of John Douglas with interviewing serial killers, they can't help but hope that Ted Bundy possesses the key in finding their guy. But you have to wonder what the true intentions are of Bundy and if he is playing a game that only results in him escaping Ol' Sparky. 

Gary's longest cluster killing spree is coming to a close, then suddenly the earth around King County pushes his dirty secrets to the surface and the Task Force adapts to a new way of investigating as body after body surfaces and some are of women never even reported missing.

This is part 1 of the 2 part season 3 finale of the True Crime Librarian, stick with me as we close out a case that took nearly 3 decades to solve, and the man whose hunch it was that Ridgway was their guy will get the best gift of all when his guy was the one they've been looking for all along...
