About this episode
1980 - East Millinocket, Maine.
In 1980, 16-year-old Joyce McLain went out for a jog one hot summer day and never came back. Two days later, her body was behind her East Millinocket high school bludgeoned to death.
Who would do this to such a well loved young woman? Over the years her mother fought like hell to keep this case in the interest of the public, and even successfully petitioned Unsolved Mysteries to cover it. But despite the national attention, Joyce's case sat unsolved for nearly four decades... until one day, a new team takes over the case and realizes the killer may be a lot closer to home than they thought.
This is the story of one of Maine's longest homicide investigations and one of its most recently solved cold cases, the murder of Joyce McLain.
