🔥 CRIMINAL MISCHIEF 🕵️♂️ AT LAST... The Arrest of Mark Anthony Russ: Justice for Tanya Frazier 🎙️ Guest: Retired Homicide Detective Cloyd Steiger Twenty-six years ago, thirteen-year-old Tanya Frazier vanished on her walk home in Seattle’s Rainier Valley. The next morning, her body was discovered in a wooded ravine, and the case quickly became one of the region’s most agonizing unsolved murders. Leads failed, suspects drifted into dead ends, and the investigation went cold while the community carried the weight of an unanswered crime. Last week, the story changed. Detectives arrested Mark Anthony Russ after modern forensic testing revealed a link that never existed in 1997. This is the kind of break investigators dream of: science catching up to violence. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Branden Morgan sits down with retired homicide detective Cloyd Steiger. He spent decades inside interrogation rooms and crime scenes, and he understands exactly how cases like Tanya’s finally crack open. Steiger explains the role of forensic innovation, why some killers slip through for so long, and how investigators prepare for the moment a cold case suddenly heats back up. This is the story of a heartbreaking crime, a forensic breakthrough, and a long-awaited step toward justice. 🎧 CALL TO ACTION If this episode hit you, follow Criminal Mischief on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
