13 - Help Me

Published: Oct. 1, 2019, 7:01 a.m.

In May 2009, two children were pulled from the dark, treacherous waters of the Willamette River just after midnight. How did they get there? Had they gone swimming? Did they fall off a boat? Or were they thrown into the water? Join Emily and Alisha while they explore the events of that night and the heartbreaking case that left a broken family even more shattered, and a city mourning the short life of an innocent child.   Check out https://www.murderintherain.com/post/episode-13-help-me for additional information about the case.
