Description
Two murders, weeks apart. Teen cheerleader Amie Hoffman when missing after leaving her part-time job. Two days later, her body is found floating in a retention tank at a local reservoir. Hoffman has been sex assaulted and stabbed repeatedly. 12 days later 25-year-old Deirdre O’Brien, 25, bangs on a truck driver’s door at a desolate rest stop pleading for help. She also has been stabbed. Before O’Brien dies, she describes her attacker as tall and slender with bushy hair and some facial hair.
No arrest is immediately made, but the next year, 1983,a break in the case. James Koedatich calls police, describing his escape from an attacker, who stabbed him. As emergency responders take Koedatich out on a stretcher, a responding officer sees a car which matches descriptions of a vehicle spotted at the mall the night of Hoffman dissapears and at the rest stop where O’Brien is attacked.
The next day, Koedatich is named a suspect in the cases.
