279. Under the Radar: The Murder of Pamela Maurer
Listen now
Description
On a frigidly cold night in 1976, in a western suburb of Chicago, sixteen-year-old Pamela Maurer was hanging out at her friend’s house in Woodridge, Illinois.  Around 9:45 p.m., Pam decided she needed a pick-me-up and told her friends she was heading out to get a soda. Pam put on her plaid coat and headed out into the frozen night, her breath billowing and catching on the wind. She pulled her coat close and made her way through the snow-covered neighborhood. When Pam did not return to her friend's house that night, none of her friends were all that worried. After all, her curfew was 10:00 p.m., and they assumed she went straight home after buying her soda. But Pam never got her soda. She never made it home, either.  She would be found early the next morning when a county road commissioner came across her body lying frozen in the snow. It would take forty years to find Pamela Maurer's killer.  However, the case doesn't end there. In fact, investigators found that it was just getting started.  Join Cam and Jen as they discuss "Under The Radar: The Murder of Pamela Maurer." *In this episode, I, Jen, accidentally say Woodbridge Illinois.
