He has been searching  for Brianna ever since. The Hunt for Briana Maitland, The Relentless Pursuit of Answers to one of Vermont’s Biggest Mysteries, reveals new case information, detailed timelines, and several obscure persons of interest.

    Every Case Is Solvable - Deborah Lynn Randall

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Behind the Badge! On Jan. 13, 1972, in Marietta, Georgia, nine-year-old Deborah (Debbie) Lynn Randall was abducted from a laundromat across the street from her home, raped, and killed.   Not long after, Deborah's case went cold and the evidence was lost.  42 years later in 2014,  Detective Dawes, lead investigator at the Cobb County Cold Case Unit, agreed to take a look at her case.  The team was able to locate  the lost evidence and test it for DNA. In 2015, the perpetrator's complete DNA profile was entered into CODIS, but there wasn't a match.  It took another 8 years  for Deborah's killer to be identified.  Listen to Every Case Is Solvable- Deborah Lynn Randall to find out how,  after 51 years, this case was finally solved.  If you would like to suggest a discussion topic, email me at truecrimepi@gmail.com or visit my website at truecrimepi.com.
