On August 3, 2013, just weeks before beginning her senior year of high school, 17 year old Alexis Murphy left her family home after telling her mother that she was going to spend the day shopping in Lynchburg, VA. Unfortunately Alexis never returned home that night so her mother reported her missing to the Nelson County Sheriff’s Department. Within a week investigators would find a suspect, but it would take years for the family of Alexis Murphy to receive justice.

Today’s case spans three countries and the course of ten years. It begins as separate tragic cases of young individuals who are in crisis, but when a 64 year old self-admitted armchair detective got involved she slowly began to connect all the dots…something horrible was happening on the internet.

The case that we have for you today will take us on a scenic road trip from the beautiful Vancouver Island through the majestic pacific northwestern state of Washington, with our final destination being Seattle. But somewhere along the way a wrong turn was taken, and the vast and dense forests around us, once beautiful and intoxicating, will take on a new sinister light. And very quickly the trip that was supposed to be fun for a young, new couple, just beginning to map out their own lives, would send them on the path towards their brutal murders…because a killer was now following them.  Join me as I tell John the case of Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg

In New Washoe City, Nevada two armed gunmen stormed into the trailer of the Dodd Family in late December of 2012. In their wake they would leave the head of the household dead and a family reeling from the seemingly senseless act of violence. But as the investigation fell into the lap of investigators the family would only be further torn apart by devastating secrets and betrayals.

Snapped Season 19 Episode 6 (Interviews)

Detective Scott Day had been on the Edmond Police Force for just about 20 years. Close to his retirement, he could reflect back on his career and be proud of the work that he had done…all except for that one case from 18 years prior. He had been a rookie officer then, and the first to respond to the scene of a murder and a violent sexual assault. The case had gone unsolved and haunted the community. It was something that he thought about often. The house, the details, he could see the only survivor standing in the doorway of the house battered and covered in blood sobbing as he ran to her. That’s why it was odd that there he was in 2004 and he stood again in front of a brick house with a large bush in front of a window on a suburban street. It was like deja vu….he got his bearings and looked around. He was actually only steps away from the house he responded to back in 1986. Had he done it again…

Just weeks before Christmas a woman was found murdered in her car on a remote country road in Texas. Her murderer was trying to throw off detectives with a faked sexual assault, the clothes of the victim folded neatly in the front seat, her purse missing but not other the other valuables in the vehicle. They didn’t know what to make of it. But the family of Sandy Harper Dial would not let their sister/daughter’s case go unsolved. And don’t worry this case is solved…the only problem is…it morphs into another one entirely.
