About this episode

The episode discusses the brutal murder of Amy Hooper and the ongoing search for her killer.

It's March 9,1992 when 20-year-old Amy Hooper is found brutally murdered in her Columbus, Ohio apartment. Investigators gather evidence from the crime scene, including a symbolic medallion, as well as DNA evidence. Unable to match the DNA to a individual, police are left waiting for advancements in modern day forensic genealogy before they can identify a suspect. Tune in as Maggie takes you through the facts of the case, then stick around as Jon Street sits down with Nic Edwards and Captain, hosts of "True Crime Garage." Nic and Captain specialize in covering cases out of their home state of Ohio, including the murder of Amy Hooper, and subsequent thirty year search for her killer.
