About this episode

When a young coastal North Carolina mother is brutally murdered in her own home, investigators determine that her killer was likely a man who had responded to a classified sale ad she’d placed in a local paper. Investigators continue to pursue a killer who’s managed to evade law enforcement for decades in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

If you know anything about the murder of Beverly Jaye Potter-Mintz, please contact the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office at 910-253-2777

Cathy and Jaye's cases aren't related, but they share many similarities, and Cathy's case is an excellent example of how cases like these can be solved decades after the fact.
