Decades after Deborah Atrops was discovered strangled inside her car trunk in Oregon, investigators used modern forensic techniques to revisit the cold case. Authorities focused their attention on her former husband, Bob Atrops, noting suspicious behaviors from the night of her disappearance and discovering that soil on her vehicle's tire matched his driveway.

Despite ongoing support and appeals from his daughter Rhianna Stephens, he received a sentence of life in prison.
