About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious death of Lois West in a bathtub in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the clues left behind.
One morning in August 1986, a contractor showed up to work on the floors in a vacant house in Williamsburg, Virginia. When he arrived, he found a woman on her side in the mostly-full bathtub. In her wake were a trail of clues: a U.S. Army class ring, a mysterious hat with feathers, and sightings in what were likely her final hours.
