About this episode

This episode details the investigation and resolution of the brutal murder of nursing assistant Rebecca Coster.

This source details the brutal murder of Rebecca Coster, a young nursing assistant whose remains were discovered charred and mutilated along a rural Connecticut road. Through the diligent work of forensic pathologists and detectives, investigators identified the victim using dental records and tracked her final movements via cell phone data and surveillance footage. The evidence led to Evans Ganthier, a man who used a pseudonym to lure Coster before killing her and attempting to erase her identity by removing her fingerprints and tattoos. Despite Ganthier’s claims that Coster died in a tragic accident, medical examiner findings of stab wounds and air embolisms proved she was murdered. The case concluded with a guilty verdict, sentencing Ganthier to life in prison and providing a sense of justice for the victim's family.
