Cold Case Solved After 27 Years

After 27 years, Indiana State Police have solved the 1997 murder of Angela Saco, thanks to new DNA technology that finally linked the crime to Stephen L. Shlater — a man who’d just been released from federal prison and later died in 2021. Though he won’t face charges, prosecutors confirm he would have been charged if still alive. Saco, a mother of a two-year-old, was stabbed on reservoir property in Huntington County, and her family has waited decades for justice. This breakthrough highlights how modern forensic tools are reviving cold cases, offering closure long overdue. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
