In this episode of Unsolved No More, we explore the tragic 1970 double murder of Julie and Terry Dade in Junction City, Oregon, a case that has puzzled investigators for decades. Early one January morning, neighbors heard screams and saw a woman being forced into a car. Shortly after, Julie's burning body was found under a car near their home, while Terry was discovered bludgeoned to death in their apartment, with their infant son miraculously left unharmed. Despite the horror and urgency of the case, it has remained unsolved for over 50 years. We'll examine the crime scene evidence, dive into the details of the investigation, and consider what may have been missed along the way in the hope of finding justice for the Dade family.
