Melissa Lee Part 1 of 2

About this episode

The episode discusses the abduction and murder of 15-year-old Melissa Lee and the eventual resolution of her cold case.

Episode 188 Melissa Lee Part 1 of 2 15 year old Melissa Lee was home alone in 1993 when someone kicked in the door and drugged her, abducted her, and killed her. The prime suspect, her boyfriend, had threatened to kill her that very day, and police believed he made good on that threat. But they could not build a solid case, and Melissa's murder remained unsolved. Three decades later, IGG pointed the cold case investigators right back to the case file, and someone in Melissa's life – someone other than her boyfriend. Luckily, Alan Dean was apprehended alive, and justice for Melissa was served at long last. This episode is sponsored by Earn In . You work hard, so why wait to access your earnings?
