In this episode of Crime Junkie, Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat delve into the 1981 murder of Kristin David, a University of Idaho student whose dismembered body was found in garbage bags in the Snake River. Ashley seeks the help of Crime Junkies to solve the case, noting similarities to other dismemberment cases from the 1980s and introducing a potential suspect: a former military medical lab specialist who was present in areas where dismembered women were found. They discuss witness sightings of a brown van and a bearded man, the discovery of newspaper used to wrap Kristin's body parts, and various suspects investigated over the years, including a man who wrote a disturbing song. The hosts provide details from the investigation, including a psychological profile of the potential killer, while withholding certain sensitive information at the request of law enforcement. Ashley urges listeners to share any information about similar cases or potential leads related to Kristin's murder. The episode concludes with a "good news" segment, where they share a listener story about how the podcast helped keep them safe.
