About this episode

This episode focuses on the disappearance of 15-year-old Dorene Raterman in 1988 and the investigation surrounding it.

In our last episode, I told you the stories of Elena Jacobs and Teresa Krause. How their bodies were found on Del Rey beach, 7 months after they disappeared from the Tongue Point Job Corps location, and that no one has been held responsible for their deaths. In this episode, I’ll still be focused on Del Rey Beach, but jumping ahead to 1988. That was when 15-year-old Dorene Raterman disappeared after going on a bike ride. Someone was held responsible, but was he the only responsible party?
