Hometown Homicide

This case is another that is close to home for us. Ashley goes over the December 1979 murder of Michelle Martinko. Stabbed to death inside of her family's car in the Westdale Mall parking lot, Michelle's murder went unsolved for almost four decades until advances in DNA technology finally brought her justice.
