Episode Details

This episode examines the cold case of William "Bill" Church Jr., a 20-year-old who went missing from Tacoma in 1977. Although skeletal remains were discovered in the decades following his disappearance, he was only identified in 2024 through advanced genetic genealogy. Following this identification, medical examiners determined that Church was a homicide victim who had been shot. Investigators are now focused on locating a woman named Mary, who was the victim's fiancée and the last person to see him alive. Authorities also believe there may be a living child who is unaware of their father's fate. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is currently requesting public assistance to generate new leads and finally identify a suspect in this nearly 50-year-old mystery.
