She wasn't even reported missing yet. When police identified the remains of Stephanie Casberg, they didn't do it
00:00:05
through a DNA match or notice that she matched the description of a missing person. Instead, it was through the help
00:00:11
of a news broadcast. Someone in the family heard the description of the remains on the radio, and Stephanie's
00:00:16
father, Charles Casberg, called the police. He gave them one detail, a small mole on the right side of her face that
00:00:22
had not been mentioned publicly. And that's how they confirmed it. Stephanie Casberg was just 17 years old, and her
00:00:28
18th birthday would have been the very next day. She had just started working and was trying to become independent and
00:00:34
had so much ahead of her. But over 50 years later, this case is still unsolved. But recently, a new potential
00:00:41
suspect surfaced, one connected to similar cases across other states. So, investigators are still working, still
00:00:47
pushing, still hoping for justice in Stephanie's case. And so are we.
