Episode 201 - Who Killed Jennifer? - Part 1 of 4 - A Son’s Quest For Answers

The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

Andres Shirm spent his entire childhood terrified of a man his family thought was responsible for his mother - Jennifer Lynn Shirm's disappearance. Even the sight of the man’s photo sent Andy into full-on panic attacks.
Although he'd eventually learn that his mother hadn't just been taken - she'd been murdered, it wouldn't be until decades later that he'd learn that the man he'd been afraid of all those years, hadn’t been his mother's murderer at all.
Over the years, police identified several suspects in Jennifer's murder investigation - even making two arrests.
Yet still, close to 40 years later, the question still remains, "Who killed Jennifer?"
