In this gripping follow-up episode, Kim delves deeper into the tragic murder of Robin Hoynes, a 21-year-old assistant manager at a KFC in Torrance, California. On the eve of Halloween in 1984, Robin's life was tragically cut short when she was brutally attacked during her shift by William Charles Marshall, a former employee intent on robbing the restaurant. Although Marshall was initially arrested, insufficient evidence allowed him to walk free, leaving the case unsolved for over two decades. It wasn’t until 2006 that a crucial piece of foam from his boot linked him to the crime, finally bringing long-awaited justice.
