The episode discusses the unsolved murder of fourteen-year-old Dana Bradley, who disappeared while hitchhiking in Newfoundland in 1981.

On a cold December evening in 1981, fourteen year old Dana Bradley was last seen hitchhiking along Topsail Road in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Witnesses watched her enter a light colored sedan. Days later, her body was discovered in a wooded area outside the city. Despite descriptions of the driver and years of investigation, no one has been convicted.
