Last week we told the story of Mandy Stavik who was kidnapped and murdered while on a jog in her hometown. Years went on and her case went cold. Then detectives, inspired by a case in England, decided they would do a DNA sweep of the area. In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019ll talk about the lengths detectives and even a good samaritan went to in an effort to put a killer behind bars. Armed with a DNA match, prosecution seemed poised for an open and shut case, but when the defense went after Mandy, her family and friends started to worry her killer could walk free. Would her murderer ever face consequences for his actions? \n\nFor photos and sources for today\u2019s episode, check out the Murder in the Rain episode blog. \n\nEpisode Host: Alisha Holland\n\nIf you\u2019d like more episodes of Murder in the rain, Patreon members of at least $5/mo, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.\n\nFollow us on:\nInstagram https://www.instagram.com/murderintherain/ \nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/mintherain/ \nTwitter https://twitter.com/murderintherain \nTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@em_murderintherain \nWebsite https://www.murderintherain.com/ \nEmail murderintherain@gmail.com\n\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Armoire and use my code RAIN for a great deal: http://www.armoire.style\n* Check out undefined and use my code RAIN for a great deal: undefined\n* Check out undefined: undefined \n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-content\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
