ANIMAL Pt. 2

In our previous episode, Alisha introduced you to Anna Marie Hlavka. She was a 20-year-old woman who had been living with her boyfriend and sister at the Tudor Arms apartments in downtown Portland. On June 24th, 1979, Anna’s sister Rose Ann returned home from the McDonald’s where both sisters worked, and she discovered her sister had been murdered. Susan was lying across the bed, the power cord from her alarm clock radio wrapped around her neck. Investigators followed every lead, but the case very quickly went cold. What the Portland Police didn’t know back in ‘79 was that the man who, 40 years later, would come up as a match via Parabon Labs forensic genetic genealogy had spent years terrorizing the state of Texas.
