本集首先更新了之前播客中提到的AJ Armstrong案件,他最终被判犯有谋杀父母的罪行,但其律师已提出上诉。随后,节目重点讲述了发生在1998年犹他州Maidenwater Spring的离奇案件。一名女子被发现死于偏僻的高速公路旁,尸体被包裹在塑料袋、胶带和睡袋中,手指指尖被切除。经过20多年的调查,警方始终未能确认死者身份和凶手。案件中缺乏有用的法医证据,目击证人也寥寥无几。尽管警方尝试了各种方法,包括设置路障、媒体宣传、以及随着科技进步对现有证据进行重新检测(例如,同位素头发分析),但都未能取得突破。2018年,警方将目光转向了连环杀手Scott Lee Kimball,但DNA比对结果显示其并非凶手。在媒体再次发布信息寻求线索后,一名业余网络侦探发现死者与俄亥俄州一名失踪女子Lena Reyes-Geddes的照片相似,并联系了警方。经过DNA比对,最终确认死者身份为Lena Reyes-Geddes。进一步的调查发现,Lena的丈夫Edward Geddes的DNA出现在捆绑Lena尸体的绳索上,尽管Edward已于2001年自杀。因此,警方最终确认Edward Geddes为凶手,但由于其已死亡,无法追究其刑事责任。本案的侦破过程体现了法医科学技术的进步以及公众参与的重要性。
