Episode Synopsis

Robert Redford’s daughter’s boyfriend, Sid Wells, was murdered more than 40 years ago on the campus of CU Boulder. His murder was never solved and his killer, never captured. But now, Redford’s death has re ignited the focus to find Wells’ killer. The actor had been passionate about solving the case while he lived, and so the FBI re-released the name and photo of the man they believe is responsible, hoping to catch now 66 years old Thayne Smika who vanished in 1986.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
