Trace Evidence Podcast | 228 - The Murder of Mandi Alexander & Mary Drake @TraceEvidencePodcast | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
On a hot and humid Tuesday night in September of 2002, Great Bend, Kansas was rocked by a brutal and senseless double murder. Twenty-four year old Mandi Alexander was working her third day in her new job at the Dolly Madison Bakery when she was brutally murdered.
Seventy-nine year old Mary Drake, a lifelong resident of Great Bend, dropped in to the bakery that night to pickup a loaf of bread. Authorities theorize that she walked in either right after or in the middle of Mandi's murder. When the killer saw her, he couldn't allow her to escape alive.
For more than twenty years the mystery behind these brutal and heinous crimes have haunted the friends and family who continue to grieve without answers. Was this a targeted attack, a robbery gone wrong or a completely random act of violence?

![142 - The Murder of Jenna & Ethen Nielsen [Plus Update on Unique Harris]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iyCSxylOA2w/hqdefault.jpg "142 - The Murder of Jenna & Ethen Nielsen [Plus Update on Unique Harris]
Final Episode of 2020: Twenty-two year old Jenna Nielsen had picked up a job delivering newspapers in the early morning hours. The mother of two wanted to help support the family shed started with her husband, Tim. Eight months pregnant with their third child, a boy to be named Ethen, Jenna would soon be taking time off to be with her new baby.
Tragically, what should have been a time of celebration would become a period of mourning and grief which has never ended. In the early morning hours of June 14th, 2007, Jenna and her unborn son were brutally murdered.
For the past thirteen years investigators, and her family, have struggled to discover her killers identity and see justice served. Still, to this day, the question lingers: was Jenna the victim of a random crime or is it possible she could have been killed by someone she knew?
***Episode includes an update regarding an arrest made in the 2010 Disappearance of Unique Harris, covered in Episode 30.***
