About this episode

The episode explores the discovery of a woman's body during a family hike in 1970, unraveling a mystery surrounding her identity.

In late November, 1970, a father and his two daughters were out for a morning hike. The older daughter sees a shape in the valley, not quite sure what it is. Maybe trash or something left behind. Maybe a mannequin but the father knows better. When he goes to investigate his fear is confirmed, it’s the body of a woman.
