In this episode, we dive into one of New England’s most baffling unsolved murders: the death of 26-year-old Samantha Folsom of Lewiston, Maine. Found murdered in her own apartment in November 2011, Samantha’s case has left investigators and her loved ones searching for answers for over a decade. We explore the known facts, unanswered questions, and the theories that keep this story alive.

This is a case about a young mom whose life was cut short, and a community that still hopes for answers. It’s a reminder of how some homicides leave more questions than answers—and why keeping stories like Samantha’s in the spotlight matters.
