About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing investigation into the 1993 murder of Melissa Simmons and the new leads being pursued by the Mason County Sheriff's Office.
Earlier this year, the Mason County Sheriff's Office announced they were tracking down new leads in the 1993 killing of Scottville teen Melissa Simmons. She was last seen alive in June of 1993. Detectives have worked ever since to try and find who may have killed Melissa. Recently, Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole asked two new investigators to look at the case and it didn’t take them long to find something that pointed them towards new leads. The decision was also made to exhume Melissa’s body. Sheriff Cole now believes investigators may be closer than they’ve ever been to figuring out who took the life of the girl who will be forever fifteen in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her.
