Summary

Episode 128 Terri McAdams Part 1 of 2

Terri McAdams seemed to have a promising future ahead of her: a college degree, an upcoming wedding, and the love and support of friends, family, and fiancé. But Terri was conflicted about her personal life, and was also deeply afraid. Someone was murdering young women in the Fort Worth, Texas area – women who were a lot like Terri. On Valentine’s Day eve in 1985, Terri was next. Her shockingly brutal murder and the theft of her engagement ring catapulted the Arlington PD into a massive, widespread and ultimately fruitless murder investigation. Time and again, Terri’s case was reexamined, and put aside, until at long last, forensic genealogy linked her case to a murder/suicide that had occurred just months after Terri’s death.

1:31.3	John was the regular pest control contractor for the Walnut Ridge Apartments in Arlington, Texas.
1:37.2	And his job was to treat the massive complex, including each of its residential units,
