Three Billboards & Still No Justice: The Unsolved Murder of Kathy Page
About this episode
In the early hours of May 14, 1991, Kathy Page was found dead in her car in Vidor, Texas, the victim of what appeared to be a staged car accident. Decades later, her murder remains unsolved, casting a long shadow over the quiet town. Kathy’s father took justice into his own hands, erecting billboards accusing her estranged husband of involvement, a move that inspired the Oscar-winning film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
In this episode, Arlene and Leah delve into Kathy’s life, the suspicious circumstances of her death, and the decades-long fight for justice. With a $50,000 Crime Stoppers reward still on the table, why has her killer evaded accountability? Join us as we revisit the cold case that continues to haunt Vidor and explore the resilience of a family determined to find answers.
