Regina Krieger // 330

In February of 1995, a 14-year-old girl went missing from her Idaho basement bedroom, leaving behind a trail of blood. Despite police believing she had run away, her body surfaced two months later, proving she had been stabbed in the throat and chest. When reports came in about a man showing up to a party covered in blood on the night of her disappearance, a local was arrested. But did they get the right guy? This is the story of Regina Krieger.
