View show details

In October 1986, 23-year-old Teresa Ann Houck left the Baltimore club where she worked and was never seen alive again, found shot to death in Druid Hill Park just hours later. Investigators had physical evidence but no identified killer, and the case went cold for nearly four decades. Then a routine DNA database search produced the match prosecutors say finally gave the case a name. This episode looks at how forensic databases and investigative persistence can bring an unsolved homicide back to life.
