The night of the murder, Goodrich’s sister was in the home, drifting in and out of sleep.
She told investigators she heard voices and then suddenly, silence.
“And she heard dragging, around the carpet and stuff which actually was him dragging her from the living room to our bathroom to put her in the tub of water,” said Goodrich.
Omaha police Detective Sherry King said investigators don’t know why this happened or who killed Linehan.''
''Investigators said there is a chance the killer is still out there and maybe still in the area.''
“There are new techniques now that are out that can possibly lead us back to information in reference to that case,” King said.
“I told them, 'God, exhume my mom, see if there's anything, maybe, just maybe, there. I don't know,” said Goodrich.
