PODCAST EXCERPT Leesa pulled in to the airport parking lot, rolled down her window to grab a parking ticket from the machine. She parked the car, had the keys in her right hand and was rolling up the driver's window when William Zamastil approached the car. She was terrified, the parking lot was dark, the only illumination a lonely light in the center casting a eerie glow. She looked around and there was no one. Except for him. The rains had washed away the thin layer of dirt covering her naked body, and coyotes had scattered her bones. In her grave they found one of her gold earnings, her engagement and wedding rings and two 22 calibre bullets. On the 20th anniversary of Leesa's abduction a greeting card was mailed to her father James. "I'd love to tell you all the things I've been up to but if I did I'd have to kill you".

VICTIM: LEESA SHANER A LONG ROAD TO JUSTICE In 1973 a young mother and wife disappeared from a Tucson airport parking lot. When her husband's plane landed, Leesa was gone. Her father, an FBI agent spent years looking for her killer. 38 years later he was found.
