Join Mind Over Murder co-hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley as they review the facts in the 1989 double homicide of Annamaria Phelps and Daniel Lauer, two young people murdered as the drove from their family homes in Amelia County, Virginia to a new life in Virginia Beach. Somehow their car was intercepted along Interstate 64 in New Kent County, Virginia and they disappeared. Their bodies were found at a hunt club off I-64 some 6 weeks later. What happened? Why is this case still unsolved more than 30 years later? Is Patricia Cornwell's bestselling book "All That Remains" actually based on this case, and did the author have unauthorized access to confidential case files?
