#170 The Tale of Skeletons in the Closet [Part 2]

This is the second part of a multi-part series, so if you have not listened to Episode 169, which is part 1, listen to that first, then come back to this.  There will be a part 3. In 1995, Patricia Esparza was a college student, attending school at Pomona University in California.  She was an incredibly high achiever and would go on to become a professor of psychology at a university in Geneva.  However, the road there was not easy, as Patricia described being sexually abused as a child and also having been date raped while attending college.  The twist in her story is that her alleged rapist wound up being hacked to death with a meat cleaver 3 weeks later.  His murder investigation grew cold…but it did not go away forever.
