The Bedroom abduction: How DNA Solved a 18-Year Silence

from CRIMELINES · host Mode Podcast

In May 1997, 8-year-old Kirsten Hatfield was taken from her bedroom in a quiet Oklahoma neighborhood. No witnesses. No body. No answers—for nearly two decades. Then, modern DNA science cracked the case, linking her neighbor to the crime. This is the story of a cold case that shocked a community, a family that never stopped searching, and justice that arrived 18 years too late to bring Kirsten home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/crimthread--6599771/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
