53 years ago the body of Theresa Rodger was found bound and bloodied atop a Brooklyn rooftop. According to the autopsy she was murdered in broad daylight, but not one record of an investigation exists.
Police told her family that because she wasn’t sexually assaulted, a group of girls must be responsible! I find that hard to believe.
Plus, a bit of positive true crime news!

In August 1993, 38-year-old Jan Pattison vanished without a trace after leaving a friend’s cabin in the remote wilderness of Greenland, Michigan. Nearly a week later, her abandoned car was discovered along a secluded logging trail, with mysterious footprints leading away—but no sign of Jan. Was her disappearance connected to prescription painkillers and alcohol, a tragic accident, suicide, or something far more sinister? #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #UnsolvedMystery #MissingPerson #MissingPersons #ColdCase #UnsolvedCases #MichiganMystery #MichiganColdCase #JanPattison #Disappearance #CrimePodcast #MysteryPodcast #CriminalInvestigation #JusticeForTheMissing
