Summary

In the early hours of September 6, 1994, a 21-year-old woman is found murdered in her apartment in Bakersfield, California. Just days earlier, she’d been hanging out with friends, laughing and talking. Now, her friends are left to question how someone could have taken her life so brutally—and why. Despite the tragedy, there’s no full investigation into her case, leaving her close friend to take matters into his own hands. What he uncovers during his personal investigation shocks him—and continues to haunt him to this day. In episode 339, Jac and Alexis explore the haunting murder of Stacy Renee Shaw, the unsettling details her friend Brian uncovers, and how a case with more questions than answers still remains unsolved.
