96. A True Crime Mystery Solved: The Murders of Aundria Bowman and Kathleen Doyle
In this gripping episode of Hard Times and True Crimes, we uncover the hauntingly intertwined stories of Aundria Bowman and Kathleen Doyle - two women connected by tragedy and a ruthless predator who evaded justice for decades.
We begin with Aundria’s heartbreaking journey: a young girl adopted into what seemed like a loving family, only to face unimaginable abuse and betrayal. Her disappearance in 1989 was dismissed as a runaway case, but her birth mother, Cathy Terkanian, never stopped searching.
This episode also explores Kathleen Doyle’s case, a young Navy wife brutally murdered in her home in Norfolk, Virginia in 1980, while her husband was deployed. For 40 years, her case remained unsolved until advancements in DNA technology caught up with the evidence in the case, revealing her killer.
