About this episode

Episode 158 Mary Schlais Part 1 of 2

In one of the oldest cold case homicides solved by IGG, Mary Schlais's shocking murder in Dunn County, WI was finally resolved. Way back in 1974, a witness saw the killer disposing of Mary's bloody body in a snowbank, and the killer dropped something at the scene… and yet, his identity eluded investigators for 50 years. Dunn County investigators never gave up on Mary's case, and when investigative genetic genealogy came along, they jumped at the opportunity, once and for all, to obtain justice for the bright, multi-lingual, artistic young equestrian who had her whole life ahead of her until it was snatched away with a few thrusts of a knife. Finally, they had a name for the monster who stabbed Mary to death. And what they would hear from him was shocking.
