Marid Malarik and Karen Ferry were both college freshmen at West Virginia University when they disappeared on a January night in 1970. Their bodies were later found decapitated in the woods, but their case went cold. 6 years later an inmate confessed to their murders, was tried, and convicted. However many believe that the wrong man was put in prison. Join us in the close this week for the case of The WVu Coed Murders.
