Episode 48 Betsy Aardsma Part 1 of 2

The Pattee Library at Penn State University would become the crime scene of a murder over Thanksgiving weekend in 1969. Graduate student Betsy Aardsma was found prone in the stacks with no evidence to suggest who had killed her. Her murder remains unsolved 56 years later, but one investigative journalist believes he has the answers as he discusses in his book Murder in the Stacks which is our primary source material for this episode. In the next episode, we will wrap up the Aardsma case.
