Episode 49: The murder of 13-year-old Linda Dearth
Linda Dearth of Brookville, Ohio was a 13 year old junior high school student. On January 25, 1973 Linda was home from school. It was the day of former President Lyndon Johnson’s funeral. All the kids were off to commemorate the day.
Linda’s parent Duane and Betty were both working. Linda was home with her brother Robert who was 17 at the time. But after receiving a phone call from their grandma, Robert left the house to do some work for her. This left Linda home alone. Robert returned home around 11:45 a.m. What he found would haunt him and his family till this day. He found the body of his sister Linda. Someone had entered the family home, sexually assaulted Linda and then shot her to death.
Over 4 decades have passed since Linda's death. Her family is still seeking justice for her murder. If you have any information about Linda's case, please contact the Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 937-222-STOP.

Catch my Killer
At any given time in the world, there are thousands of unsolved murders. Most of them will never be solved. The first 48 hours of a homicide are the most crucial to an investigation. Eventually, leads dry up, witnesses become less cooperative, and cases go cold (unsolved). Meanwhile, detectives continue receiving new homicide cases which push older ones to the back. After a case goes cold, it quickly becomes yesterday’s news. The public and the media will forget about the crime and move onto the next crime story. But do you know who won’t forget about a cold case? The victim’s family and friends. They won’t forget because their case is more than a case file or news story. The victims were sons, fathers, mothers, daughters, or friends. Catch my Killer is a podcast that focuses on the victim's surviving family and friends who give a voice to those who no longer have one. If you are listening and can help bring a killer to justice, please call in your tips. Even the smallest clue could be large enough to break a case wide open.
