A Christmas Slaying: The Murders of Bob and Idella Young

Chrissy Champagne Episode 57

It was Christmas night 2003 in the town of Nampa, Idaho. 83 year-old Bob Young and his 73 year-old wife, Idella Young, were set to enjoy a nice quiet Christmas dinner alone in their home. After hearing a knock on their front door, the elderly couple would allow a monster into their home that holiday night. A case that investigators would stop at nothing to solve. Years go by with no suspects and no leads. Persistence pays off when detectives look back on the case with fresh eyes. A killer was always lurking in the background.
