The Murder of Dana Satterfield

In July 1995, Dana Satterfield was working late at her hair salon in Roebuck, South Carolina, when someone walked through the door and changed everything. The 27-year-old mother of two was found strangled, beaten, and sexually assaulted — her body tied to the hot water heater her husband had installed. There was an eyewitness. There was DNA. And there was a 17-year-old suspect whose mother made sure the police couldn't touch him. For a decade, the case went cold. Then a chance encounter at a mechanic shop — and a secret one man had been carrying since the night of the murder — cracked it wide open. This week, Mandy and Melissa cover the full story of Dana Satterfield: the crime, the cold case, and the DNA match that finally brought justice after 11 years. Learn more about your ad choices.
