Dana Bailey

Episode 15 Dana Bailey In 1987, Penn State senior Dana Bailey was the victim of a man police believe was stalking her. He watched her from an adjacent building, and one night he scaled rooftops and climbed into her apartment and murdered her. Dana was found posed in a sexually suggestive manner, and police believe her killer did this so he could enjoy his handiwork. Anonymous letters and calls from tipsters kept investigators busy, but police never had any good suspects in this case – every lead went cold. Dana Bailey’s case took a twist when the DA assigned to her case, Ray Gricar, went missing in 2005. He has never been found – and Dana’s case remains unsolved.

Suzanne 'Suzy' Lyall

Episode 14 Suzanne 'Suzy' Lyall The 1998 disappearance of Suzanne Lyall, who was known to many as Suzy, is one of the better-known missing persons cases. Suzy was a studious and industrious student at SUNY-Albany who was abducted after taking a bus back to campus from work on the night of March 2nd. No evidence of Suzy was ever found again – except for the strange appearance of her work ID in a parking lot, and someone using her ATM card to withdraw $20. Suzy’s boyfriend was a prime suspect in her disappearance – but many have their doubts about his involvement. Another theory – that a mysterious serial killer was responsible for Suzy’s disappearance – has gained more traction in recent years. Did Israel Keyes abduct Suzy Lyall?
