MURDERED: Kala Williams & Heather Higgin...

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

Kala Williams was 20 years old when her family stopped hearing from her. Weeks later, her body was discovered dismembered in the woods with the DNA of a possible suspect on her body and items from the crime scene. Yet, the DNA evidence hasn’t been enough to charge him in Kala’s case - or the disappearance of another Spokane woman two years prior.
