Spokane's Cold Case FINALLY Solved / Candy Rogers Case / True Crime

In March 1959, a 9-year-old girl walked out of her family's apartment above a Spokane grocery store to sell mints door-to-door. She never came home. For 16 days, an entire city searched for Candy Rogers, until two Air Force airmen found a pair of small shoes sitting neatly on a forest floor. What they found next would haunt Spokane detectives for the next 62 years. Three generations of investigators inherited this case. Hundreds of suspects were questioned. One man was wrongly suspected for six decades. And the real killer had been living just one mile from Candy's front door the entire time until a DNA lab in Texas, and a dead man's own daughter, finally cracked it open. This is the story of the Candy Rogers case, the disappearance, the search, the wrong suspects, and the DNA breakthrough that took 62 years to arrive.
