    Join us for a gripping exploration of a mysterious discovery that could crack open the Polly Klass kidnapping case. Imagine stumbling upon red child-sized tights, a black sweatshirt, and a knotted white cloth in the woods – items that could potentially be linked to a high-profile crime. Dana Jaffe did just that on November 27, 1993, sparking an investigation that saw Deputy Sheriff Mike McManus and Detective Pelton rush to the scene, hoping to uncover vital clues in Polly's disappearance. This moment marks the beginning of an intense pursuit for answers, filled with tension and urgency as the investigation unfolds.
