Case 277: Linda Slaten

Casefile Presents
About this episode
*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, domestic violence ***

Jeff and Tim Slaten woke on the morning of Friday, September 4 1981, to find their home teeming with police. Their mother, Linda, had been raped and murdered during the night. Neither brother heard a thing, and despite the killer having left pivotal evidence behind, it quickly became clear that this wasn’t an open-and-shut case.
