Mike Missanelli is re-examining the brutal 1962 murder of 9-year-old Carol Ann Dougherty in Bristol, in the newest episode of his “The Coldest Murder” podcast, writes FOX 29.

For Missanelli, the case was personal to him.

“I lived right around the corner, my uncle was the police chief trying to solve this case,” Missanelli said. “I was playing football in the yard with my brother when my mother came running out of the house because he had called my house to say that there was a murder in the neighborhood and to get the kids in the house.”

According to investigators, on Oct. 22, 1962, Dougherty was riding her bike to return a library book before stopping at St. Mark’s Church to say a prayer.

The young girl was then raped and murdered inside the church, and her body was found by her father after he spotted her bike parked outside.

Missanelli noted that four major suspects were identified, the largest being later found as a “predator priest” in Lynne Abraham’s exposé on the Philadelphia Archdiocese.

“What I’m trying to do in this podcast is kind of re-explore the case, go into the background of the suspects, make it like the listener is following along and have their own opinions about who committed this crime,” Missanelli said.
