The Unsolved Granite Bay Murders Part 1: The Murder of Cindy Wanner

A mother is making a little extra money by cleaning her sister's house in an upscale neighborhood. She is feeding her eleven-month old daughter cereal in her high chair while cleaning each room. Somewhere in a small forty-five minute window, someone would gain access to the house and brazenly abduct Cindy in front of her child. Cindy would be found murdered three weeks later, but the autopsy would reveal that she had been kept alive for two weeks after her abduction and open up the investigation to a whole new round of questions. Was there a new serial killer operating in an area that had already been plagued by a few? Was her case related to other crimes in the area? Cindy's case is so solvable, with DNA evidence just waiting for witness testimony to strengthen the case.
