They Thought They Got Away

from CRIMELINES · host Mode Podcast

Two young women. Two countries. Two killers who thought they would never be found. In 1971, 17-year-old Moren Brewbaker Farley vanished in Iowa while walking to work. She was found dead 7 days later. Her killer walked free for 50 years — until a sweet tobacco smell and DNA finally identified him. In 2019, 21-year-old Libby Squire was too drunk to enter a club in Hull, England. She never made it home. Her body was found in a river 7 weeks later. Her killer had been watching women for years. This is the story of two cold cases, two breakthroughs, and two families who finally got the truth after decades of waiting.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/crimthread--6599771/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
