On April 30th and May 1st, 1979, two workers at a hydroelectric dam in Bend, Oregon made grisly discoveries that would send chills through the small town of 17,000 and capture news headlines around the state for months to come.

 

It's been forty-two years since the murder of Mary Jo Templeton.

 

The case remains unsolved and though still an "active" investigation with local law enforcement, the story has been largely ignored...

 

Until now.

 

It's my hope that this podcast series will not only catch a cold-blooded killer, but that it will also help to humanize a woman whose life was overshadowed by her demise.
