from Missing · host Crawlspace Media

In this episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna are joined by Dr. Sarah Schiffecker & Dr. David Perlmutter to try to solve the coldest murder in history. The discussion takes them back 5,300 years to the Italian Alps, where the legendary Ötzi became the victim of the worlds oldest documented murder.
