Manage episode 515943316 series 3658022
Fifteen years after Lisa Marie Kimmell vanished on a lonely stretch of Wyoming highway, a single DNA sample whispered the name of her killer — Dale Wayne Eaton. DNA and the Man in the Desert follows the forensic trail that broke one of the state’s most haunting cold cases and revealed the predator who had stalked its plains for decades.
From the quiet hum of the crime lab to the empty desert where a family once fought for their lives, John and Angela retrace the chain of events that turned a forgotten rape kit into the voice that finally spoke for Lisa. This episode uncovers how Eaton’s violent past, his near-fatal 1997 kidnapping of a Michigan family, and his drifter existence all converged to expose a killer hiding in plain sight.
With cinematic storytelling and investigative precision, Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning brings you inside the case that proved justice can rise from silence — and that sometimes, survival itself is the key to solving a murder.
