It was a Monday afternoon in July. Leota, a mother of three, was home with her kids, doing the most ordinary of tasks — hanging laundry on the clothesline.
But while she was outside, someone is believed to have slipped into her home and waited.
What happened next shattered her family’s world — and left behind a mystery that’s remained unsolved for decades.
Still, there’s hope. Because every year, cold cases are solved — through advances in technology, and sometimes, because someone finally speaks.
