On July 20, 1971, at around 1:30 am, 24-year-old Rita Curran was found dead in her bedroom. She had been sexually assaulted, beaten in the head, and strangled. It was estimated that Rita was killed at around midnight on July 19. For decades, Rita’s murder went unsolved. Then, in February 2023, a DNA match led detectives to Rita’s killer: William DeRoos.

This week is part-two of a two-part story about the murder of Julie Jensen, a beloved mother, sister and friend. Julie feared her husband Mark Jensen would one day take her life, and she went so far as to write a letter that said as much. But would the letter even make it into the trial, and without it, would the prosecution have enough to put Mark away?
