The Abduction and Murder of Polly Klaas

Episode Summary

Twelve-year old Polly Hannah Klaas was taken from her home by an intruder the night of October 1, 1993 while she and her friends were having a slumber party. The largest manhunt known at the time was conducted and the nation untied with the efforts to find America's daughter. This story is tragic to say the least, but good has come from this case. Join us this week as we discuss Polly's case and give tips and sources on how to protect children during our current age of technology.
