Episode Details

This episode details the tragic 1985 abduction and murder of Ed and Minnie Maurin, an elderly couple who operated a beloved Christmas tree farm in Lewis County, Washington. The couple was targeted for their perceived wealth by two brothers, Rick and Greg Riffe, who had previously worked as temporary laborers on their property. After forcing the victims to withdraw cash from a local bank, the assailants executed them and abandoned their bodies along a remote logging road. Despite decades of stagnation, the case was revitalized in 2005 when a determined detective utilized enhanced photographic technology and secured a crucial eyewitness testimony that had been suppressed by fear. This persistence led to the 2012 arrest and eventual conviction of Rick Riffe, finally providing justice for the community nearly thirty years after the crime.
