Lori Bolger had already endured more loss than most 16 year olds. . In the summer of 1976, just one week after burying her father, Lori disappeared from Elgin, Illinois, after attending a driver’s education class at her high school. What began as an ordinary day, with plans to meet friends and go swimming, ended with Lori being found brutally beaten to death in an isolated field in South Elgin. Nearly five decades later, Lori’s case remains unsolved, leaving behind unanswered questions, a family forever changed, and a young girl who should have had so much more time in the sun. Join Ali and Eli as they go through this cold case.
