Janice Randle was 30 and the mother of two girls when she was murdered at home in her bed in Graham, Washington. Her 18-month-old daughter, Kourtney, slept in a crib next to her mother's bed and was unharmed. Janice and her estranged husband, James Randle,  were separated and headed for divorce at the time of her death. James Randle told investigators Janice may have died from a drug overdose, citing a past history of painkiller use, but autopsy results revealed there were no drugs in her system. Investigators had little evidence to go on and the case went cold for decades. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack look at the case from a time before the murder took place and examine how the daughters of Janice Randle revived the case with investigators, leading to an arrest nearly 34 years after the murder!
