Summary

In this re-edited archive episode, retired agent Eddie Fryer reviews the investigation to recover Polly Klaas, a twelve-year-old girl abducted from her bedroom in October 1993, by a stranger during a slumber party with two friends. Eddie Freyer was the case agent who, working in conjunction with his partners from the Petaluma Police Department, worked countless hours for more than sixty-days without a single day off. This was the episode that made me realize that hosting and producing FBI Retired Case File Review had become a mission for me. Coincidentally, October 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic incident.
