Cold Hair, Hidden Locker: How 29 Years Named a Killer

The thrill of a cold case closing arrives with a single, unlikely detail: seven root-attached hair follicles, clenched in a victim’s fist, removed from evidence, and preserved by accident for 29 years before they yielded a name. How did a rusty garage and a detective’s boxed memories turn into the thread that finally tied a killer to a place no one suspected?

In this episode, we follow the chronological path of the Susan Schultz case from discovery to genetic genealogy - the scene where her body was found, the missing evidence, the detective who kept the file and the envelope, and the lab work that opened a new lead. What did those seven hairs reveal, and who did the DNA point to?
