In 1959, Candice Rogers was abducted and murdered while selling Camp Fire Girls mints door to door. At the time, Candice was in the fourth grade and lived in Spokane, Washington. Her murder shocked the city and forever changed the amount of freedom that children in the area were allowed.
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Candice Rogers. Her murder went unsolved for over sixty years and was called Spokane's Mount Everest by some investigators. Some evidence was collected and preserved for many years. Eventually, DNA technology advanced to the point that a DNA sample was produced from the evidence. This allowed the authorities to utilize genetic genealogy to help zero in on Candice's killer, a man named John Hoff. Hoff's daughter helped by providing DNA to link her father, a man she never dreamed could have been a sadistic killer.
