Episode 270: The Solved Murder of Kait Arquette

Kaitlyn Arquette, the daughter of well-known author Lois Duncan, was murdered while driving home in a seemingly random shooting. Lois worked to get justice for her daughter until her death in 2016, and unfortunately, she would never see the case be solved. But in 2021, a shocking confession changed the course of the 30+ year old cold case.
