Two murders, weeks apart.

Teen cheerleader Amie Hoffman vanished after leaving her part-time job. Two days later,\\xa0 her body is found floating in a retention tank at a local reservoir. Hoffman has been sex assaulted and stabbed repeatedly.\\xa0

Twelve days later 25-year-old Deirdre O\\u2019Brien, 25, bangs on a truck driver\\u2019s door at a desolate rest stop pleading for help. She also has been stabbed. Before O\\u2019Brien dies, she describes her attacker as tall and slender with bushy hair and some facial hair.\\xa0

No arrest is immediately made, but the next year, 1983, a break in the case surfaces. James Koedatich calls police, describing his escape from an attacker, who stabbed him. As emergency responders take Koedatich out on a stretcher, a responding officer sees a car that matches descriptions of a vehicle spotted at the mall the night of Hoffman\'s disappearance and at the rest stop where O\\u2019Brien is attacked.

The next day, Koedatich is named a suspect in the cases.\\xa0
