In the dead of winter, 1979, a man called his local police station with concerns. He\u2019d been staying at the Blue Mill Inn and had just been on the phone with the motel\u2019s desk clerk when he\u2019d heard something unusual. It sounded as if someone had gotten into the office. Perhaps the person had been intent on robbing the motel? The caller heard the desk clerk, Janet Chandler, say \u201cdon\u2019t take it all, sir.\u201d When police arrived at the motel, they discovered money missing from the register. Janet Chandler was nowhere to be found.
\n
\nA day later, a snowplow driver discovered Janet\u2019s body by the side of the road. The murder of\xa0 22-year-old Janet Chandler shocked the small community of Holland, Michigan. Who had murdered Janet? And why? For decades, those questions went unanswered.
