In 2003, 22-year-old Katie Sepich was a graduate student at New Mexico State University with a promising future ahead of her. After a night out with friends in Las Cruces, Katie vanished. Her body was discovered the following day near a desert landfill, and investigators were left searching for a killer who seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
For more than three years, the answers remained hidden in the evidence. Then a DNA breakthrough led investigators to a suspect and exposed a troubling question: Could Katie's killer have been caught sooner?
What followed was more than a murder conviction. Katie's parents turned their grief into a fight for change, helping establish legislation that would transform DNA collection practices and potentially save other lives.
Join Outline of a Murder for our next True Crime & Wine at Enchantment Vineyards as we examine the investigation, the forensic evidence, the killer's identification, and the extraordinary legacy of Katie's Law.
