The Lady in the Lake - Brandy Dyson (part two)

Holly Searcy lost her mother to murder at 10. She lost her father to murder at 19. She battled her own addiction before getting sober and becoming a substance abuse counselor. Now, she's the one fighting for the case no one else has been able to solve.

In Part 2, Holly opens up about what it's like to grow up with both parents taken by violence, the moment she decided to pick up the torch from her exhausted aunt and become her mother's advocate, and the emotional cost of re-traumatizing yourself over and over again to keep a cold case alive.

She shares the devastating story of Hurricane Ike washing her mother's casket away three years after the murder, the possible connection to the Jennings 8 serial murders just 30 minutes away, and the painful realization that the physical evidence in her mother's case has been exhausted — meaning it will only be solved if someone comes forward.

Holly also shares a message for the person who killed her mom. And she talks about what it means to try to forgive someone you've never met.

Somebody knows something. If you were at Crystal's Nightclub in Lake Charles on the night of November 4th, 2005 — or if you knew Jeremias Salazar in the Lubbock or Levelland, Texas area — please contact the Lake Charles Police Department.
