About this episode

The episode discusses the memorial service for three young women and the unsolved cases of two murders and one sort-of solved case.

On April 9th, 2006, a memorial service was held at the entrance of Del Rey Beach on the Oregon coast. During that somber ceremony, there was an offer of comfort and closure for the families of Elena Jacobs, Teresa Kruse, and Doreen Raterman. Three crosses stood in the parking lot, instead of three young women. Over the next two episodes, I’ll be sharing the unsolved case of the double murder of Elena and Teresa, and the sort-of solved case of Doreen Raterman.
