Our card this season is Darlene Hulse, the 4 of Hearts from Indiana.

Darlene Hulse was forcibly taken from her home in Argos, Indiana on August 17, 1984. Her two oldest daughters witnessed the attack but they didn’t recognize the man who took their mother. Though Darlene’s body would be found a day later, just six miles from her home, her killer has evaded law enforcement for almost four decades and the investigation has remained cold…until now.

A great journey!

Very well researched and written. I was very impressed that as new leads were uncovered the investigation made the adjustments and continued on a new path. The journalists never back down from confrontation with the case officials and showed true impartiality.
A great listen, thank you.
