In February 1981, 31-year-old Juanita Boyd vanished after a night at Snyder’s Corner Tavern in LaPorte, Indiana. A week later, she was found strangled and stabbed in the trunk of her green Pontiac Catalina, abandoned off a muddy rural road. Her killing remains unsolved more than forty years later. In this episode, we retrace the timeline from her last sighting to the 2013 cold-case re-examination, exploring the details, forensic possibilities, and what might still bring answers. Juanita’s story is a reminder that this could happen to any one of us — and that justice can still come, even decades later.
