The Trail Went Cold - Episode 434 - Katherine Korzilius

August 7, 1996. Travis County, Texas. After running errands with her family, six-year old Katherine Korzilius is dropped off at a community mailbox in her neighbourhood and is last seen walking in the direction of her home. Fifteen minutes later, Katherine’s mother discovers her body lying in the road about a quarter-mile away from their residence. An autopsy reveals that she has a fractured skull, so the medical examiner concludes that Katherine was likely thrown or fell from a moving vehicle. While investigators suspect that Katherine may have grabbed onto the back of her mother’s SUV as it drove away before she fell off, her family believes she was murdered by an unknown party in a botched abduction attempt. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the tragic unexplained death of Katherine Korzilius.
