Cathy Sposito Part 1 of 2

Episode 100 Cathy Sposito Part 1 of 2 In April 1987, Cathy Sposito was brutally killed on a popular, scenic hiking trail in broad daylight in Prescott Arizona. Despite multiple earwitnesses to her murder, her killer eluded police. A massive investigation turned up two prime suspects, but there was no smoking gun. Then, a 1990 sexual assault on the same trail mirrored the MO, and again, the killer escaped. This time, the survivor was able to describe her attacker, but his identity remained unknown. The two crimes were linked only theoretically until DNA evidence connected them, and tied them to the same man. And that man was given a name by forensic genealogy, which solved the two cases at once. This episode is sponsored by Factor Meals; healthy eating made easy.
