It's always suspicious when a newlywed who turns up murdered or deceased in an accident has a spouse who stands to collect a large life insurance policy. This was the case of Lucille Rinaldi, who was murdered in 1963, and Brenda Anderson, who drowned mysteriously in 1965. We also take a look at one of Chapel Hill's oldest cold cases, the murder of 71-year-old Rachel Crook. Co-Writer: Mia Roberson Renee's "You Can Start a Podcast!"

On the afternoon of July 30, 1965, 21-year-old Suellen Evans was taking a summer session at the University of North Carolina when she was attacked and murdered in the Coker Arboretum. While police quickly utilized bloodhounds and organized group searches to help find the murder weapon, their efforts failed confirm a solid suspect or turn up any other leads. The case remains cold, but Suellen's hometown of Mooresville and the college campus have never forgotten the frustrating details of this this story.
