Summary

10-year-old Holly Piirainen was abducted and murdered while on a vacation with her father and siblings in August 1993. Her remains were found in a wooded area over two months later. Three decades later, her case remains unsolved. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Holly Piirainen. On the day she was abducted, Holly spent time at a relative's cottage on the lake. She visited a neighboring property to look at some puppies but never returned. A suspicious man was seen driving slowly down the road where Holly would have been. But, several people have warranted suspicion in Holly's case and others around the area.
