In this episode, Kim explores the tragic murder of Robin Hoynes, a 21-year-old assistant manager at a KFC in Torrance, California. On the night before Halloween in 1984, Robin was brutally attacked and killed during her shift by William Charles Marshall, a former employee who sought to rob the restaurant. Despite his initial arrest, the lack of evidence allowed Marshall to go free, leaving the case cold for over two decades. It wasn’t until 2006, when a crucial piece of foam from his boot linked him to the crime, that justice was finally served. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
