I really enjoyed this story because it was very entertaining. It was also really sad. The story was about a young woman who was found wrapped in a tarp in the middle of the forest and decomposed beyond the point of recognition. The police thought that she was 16-18 years old and had been dead for anytime between 2 weeks to two months. The body was so decomposed that there were no obvious causes of death. There was also another case in Philadelphia that was similar, so it may have been a serial killer. The police eventually gave up on the case. Several years later the daughter of the man who found the body’s boyfriend became obsessed with the case and started investigating. He ran across a woman whose sister was missing and through a bit of digging, they discovered that the body was indeed the body of the missing sister. If it wasn't for that young man then the identity of the body never would have been discovered. In addition the murder was identified, but it has not been released to the pubic because he had already passed away. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and I would definitely listen to another one from the same channel. I would give this story a 4 out of 5.
