Episode 186 Tracy Whitney In 1988, Teenager Tracy Whitney was trying to figure out her complicated life.  She was living with one boyfriend, and seeing another guy on the side – there was drama. When she vanished after walking out of a Federal Way, WA Burger King in August, no one had any idea where she could have gone.  She was found miles away in the Puyallup River the next day – and remained a Jane Doe for two months. Once she was identified as the missing teen, police were months behind on their homicide investigation.  But even if the investigation had been timely, it's unlikely that her killer would have been identified – for he had no known connection to Tracy whatsoever.

After years of virtually no new developments, Suffolk County Police arrested Rex Heuermann in connection with the murder of at least 3 victims.
