[Music] foreign scene was just brutal and Evil and just ugly [Music] Linda Slayton remembered as a loving
00:00:18
mother was found dead in this home in 1981 it was a case that went cold for nearly four decades when two brothers
00:00:25
who weren't sure whether their mother's murder would ever be solved got a chance

children of a murder victim they need those answers no matter how many detectives we had to go through over the
00:01:54
years we was going to let them know we're still here and we will we want to kill our mom
00:01:59
38 years after this brutal murder that has felt like a no would be solved 38 years of more than two dozen
00:02:11
detectives coming up empty every turn I was striking out how long did it take you chromosome 3
00:02:19
