About this episode

19-year-old Sonya Ivanoff, a resident of Nome, Alaska, disappeared during an early morning walk on August 11th, 2003. Her body was found the next evening. None of the early leads panned out, but weeks later, investigators found evidence pointing to local police officer Matthew Owens. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Matthew Owens. Nome is a small town in Alaska, and Owens seemingly used his position as a police officer to stalk his prey. Several women came forward to tell their stories about what Matthew Owens did to them. Law enforcement and prosecutors had a tough road trying to put away one of their own.
