MINERAL: Diana Robertson

COSMIC BIGFOOT
About this episode

A young mother was murdered in December of 1985 near Mineral, Washington. Her case has remained unsolved for over 3 decades… along with the murders of a couple that took place just four months earlier. These cases have been tied together somewhat by location but mostly because of tube socks found at the crime scenes. Are these cases actually connected? Well, that depends on who you ask. The show Unsolved Mysteries couldn’t even figure this one out, but soon DNA might finally reveal the truth… about what happened to Diana Robertson. This is Washed Away. Detective Beall from Lewis County's Cold Case Unit provides some updates. Show notes can be found at washedawaypodcast.com. (Content Warning: Murder, Domestic Violence)
