On October 4, 1978, two electric company workers found the remains of a young woman near the campus of Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. She had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and strangled; at the time police called her injuries "extreme trauma". The young woman was soon identified as 16-year-old Krisann Baxter who had been reported to police as a runaway just a few days earlier. The case soon turned cold, but her clothing and other evidence was preserved despite this being before the era of DNA testing, in hopes that it would one day reveal the killer's identity. Almost 45 years later in 2023, Krisann Baxter’s killer was identified through DNA and genetic genealogy. So, was Krisann’s killer responsible for other sinister crimes.
