The Lunchbox: How a Childhood Tin Unraveled Four Murders

A battered Disney The Little Mermaid lunchbox mailed from Linden, New Jersey arrived at Carol Slater's door in March 2003, sealed and empty except for a scratch she recognized from 1986 - the same scratch from the day her daughter Linda dropped it on a school bus. Why would a childhood tin linked to a missing dental hygienist resurface four years later and ultimately connect to four murders across three counties?

In this episode, we follow the sequence of events from Linda Slater's disappearance to the discovery that started a larger investigation, charting what was in her apartment, who was in her circle, and the clue that changed everything. How did a clean rectangle of dust on a refrigerator and a returned lunchbox become the hinge for a multi-county murder probe?
