Tanya Marie Frazier

Citizen Detective

Episode 9 Tanya Marie Frazier
On July 18th, 1994, 14 year-old Tanya Marie Frazier of Seattle, Washington, left school. She was scheduled to work at a local thrift shop, but never showed up, and she disappeared. Five days later, a dog walker found her partially nude body in an upscale neighborhood, about 10 blocks away from where she was last seen. Her throat had been cut. Weeks later in another location, some of Tanya's belongings turned up.
Police did not have many leads to work with early on, and focused on Tanya's mother, and her mother's boyfriend, but DNA eventually seemed to clear them. Other names and shady people popped up in the case over the years, but police were never able to tie the crime to anyone.
For some reason, whether it's lack of funding, or a misunderstanding of new investigative techniques, the evidence in Tanya's case has not been re-tested recently using the newest technology and tools.
The team is joined in this episode by Rose Winquist and Kathy Decker, two investigators who have not given up on trying to solve the mystery of who murdered Tanya, and why.
