The Girl by the Road & Jessica’s Ride

On a cold January morning in 1992, 18-year-old Holly Ann Anderson was found stabbed to death on the side of an empty rural road in Vermillion County, Indiana. Her case went cold almost immediately. No suspect. No motive. Just silence.

Nearly two years later and just three miles away, 15-year-old Jessica Roach disappeared while riding her bike home from school. Her body, discovered weeks later in a cornfield, reawakened a horrifying question: Was this the work of a serial killer?

In this episode of A Heavy Weight, we investigate the chilling parallels between two unsolved murders, and the emerging shadow of a man who would come to haunt law enforcement for decades—Larry Dewayne Hall.
