Episode 514: The Unsolved Murder of Betsy Aardsma

About this episode

This episode discusses the unsolved murder of Betsy Aardsma, who was attacked at Penn State in 1969.

Betsy Aardsma was doing research for her English paper at Penn State on November 28, 1969 when she was attacked in the Stacks at the Pattee Library on campus. Despite multiple people being nearby when she was stabbed and seeing the man who presumably stabbed her flee, her case went cold and remains that way today, nearly 57 years later.
