In 1973, a student at Lockyer College of Business in Indiana encountered a ghostly figure in the basement of the old courthouse where classes were being temporarily held after a fire at the original campus.
After the murder of Anne Kroger, police questioned her partner's alibi, but found him at work during the crime. Investigators believed someone in the building would have seen the murderer, but the case remains unsolved.
Detectives investigate a blood smear found near the water fountain in the courthouse as a possible clue to the murder of Anne Scripps Douglas, but struggle to connect it to the crime without forensic evidence, while trying to narrow down the timeline of events leading up to her death.
This episode discusses several tips and leads that investigators received in the Ann Klein murder case, including a report of a man with a knife prior to the killing and an allegation from a woman that her boyfriend's mother, who she claimed was a friend, killed Klein.
Detectives might have a new suspect in mind, but that doesn't mean they don't still need the public's help. Anne Klein deserves justice. Her family deserves to know why she was killed and who her killer is.
