Why is She Often Considered the Victim of a Serial Killer? #CrimeJunkie #truecrime #serialkiller | Forensic Files

So, the other case is that of 22-year-old Kristen David. On June 26th, 1981, Kristen goes missing while riding
her bike from her dorm at the university in Moscow, Idaho to her parents house in
none other than Lewon. Like Christina, both she and her bike just who gone. But unlike Christina, Kristen gets found
eight days later on the 4th of July. Her body is found in pieces in the Snake River. Her body parts were wrapped in
newspaper and placed in black garbage bags. Now, she'd been in the water for some time, so finding forensic evidence
was pretty much a no-go. They don't know who took her. They don't know where she
was killed. They don't know much of anything. The only clues they had in her case were the newspaper that she was
actually like wrapped in. They were local papers from Lewon dated April of 1981.
And police got a couple of sightings of maybe a big brown van that was maybe stopped on the side of the road with her
and her bike, but they never figured out who the driver was. Though, and this is
one of those very loose connections to Lance Foss, it's been speculated that maybe he had a brown van at the time. I
guess he had a lot of vehicles, but we're saying Brown van not officially confirmed.
