Case 277: Linda Slaten
Case 277 Linda Slaten
*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, domestic violence ***
Jeff and Tim Slaten woke on the morning of Friday, September 4 1981, to find their home teeming with police. Their mother, Linda, had been raped and murdered during the night.
Neither brother heard a thing, and despite the killer having left pivotal evidence behind, it quickly became clear that this wasn’t an open-and-shut case.
