About this episode
1977 - Monroe, Connecticut
In June of 1977, on the eve of her last day of third grade, 8-year-old Renee Freer went outside to play and never came home. Hours later, her body was discovered in the woods near her house, shaking the tight-knit community of Monroe.
Investigators exhausted every lead in their pursuit of justice for Renee, yet decades later, the case remains unsolved. But today’s detectives have one advantage their predecessors never did—21st-century technology. Armed with cutting-edge forensics and a renewed determination, they are closer than ever to unmasking her killer.
If you have any information on the murder of Renee Freer, please contact the Monroe Police Dept Detective Division at 203-452-2831 ext. 1332. There is a $50k reward for information that leads to a resolution.
