In 1969, 17-year-old Mary Kay Hesse was stabbed to death in Wahoo, Neb. – a crime that haunted the community for decades.
48 HOURS first began reporting on the case in 1999, capturing interviews and material that, until now, had never aired. For more than 50 years, the murder remained unsolved.

48 HOURS correspondent Natalie Morales reports on how the murder of Mary Kay Hesse was finally brought back into focus in “The Girl from Wahoo.”
