The Trail Went Cold - Episode 436 - Sigrid Stevenson

September 4, 1977. Ewing Township, New Jersey. The nude body of 25-year old graduate student Sigrid Stevenson is discovered beneath a piano cover inside the Main Stage Theater of Kendall Hall on the campus of Trenton State College. She has been bludgeoned to death with a blunt object and since Sigrid had been staying in Kendall Hall that weekend, she was likely attacked while practicing the piano on stage. A number of people are looked at as potential suspects, including campus police officers, campus staff and members of a theatre group, but there is no conclusive evidence to implicate any of them and Sigrid’s murder remains unsolved. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a cold case that was recently featured on the Netflix reboot of “Unsolved Mysteries”.
