A Mother's Fire : How Cathy Terkanian Became Her Daughter's Champion
[Content Warning]: Murder, death of a child, child sex abuse, physical abuse, lack of action by figures of authority, descriptions of violence
Today, Jan is joined by Cathy Terkanian, who is here to share the heartbreaking story of her daughter, Alexis (Aundria M. Bowman), who was placed for adoption as an infant in 1974. After Alexis vanished in 1989, Cathy spent decades piecing together the truth: her daughter had been abused and murdered by her adoptive father, a violent predator, and buried in their backyard. Despite systemic failures by police, courts, and social services, Cathy's relentless advocacy, aided by a web sleuth and DNA evidence, ultimately led to the discovery of Alexis's remains and the adoptive father's imprisonment. Cathy now fights to reform closed adoptions and remove the adoptive parents' names from her daughter's birth certificate, advocating for transparency and justice to protect other children.
