The Marie Kline Case

Stacy Bridavsky | May 26, 2026

On December 30, 1987, 20-year-old Marie Kline answered the door at her home near Elkhart, Indiana.
She never came back inside.

For years, her father Wayne held onto the sound of that doorbell, the sound of his daughter leaving the room, and the questions that followed. This episode of A Heavy Weight follows Marie’s case, the investigation that stalled, the family that kept pushing, and the DNA evidence that finally gave them some answers.
