Summary

Episode 130 Joyce Casper Part 1 of 2

When respected and esteemed 65 year old businesswoman and mother of three Joyce Casper was found raped and murdered in her car in Boise, Idaho in 1987, the community was shocked to its core. No one could imagine who could have wished harm to Joyce - but police suspected she had reported her own killer. Joyce had been the subject of an attempted attack less than three weeks earlier. Was someone targeting the beloved gift shop owner? Despite having a description of the possible suspect, police could not find him, and Joyce’s case stalled. But Joyce was one of those victims that investigators never forgot, and Boise police kept working to find her slayer. A phenotype in 2017 told them what he looked like…but it took an incredibly complex genealogy investigation combined with detective work finally to flush out the name of her killer. And it turned out, Joyce had described him perfectly.
