The year was 1984. Debbi Finnern, 30, left all she knew in Omaha, Nebraska behind when she moved to Spokane. Her family believes just a few months after she arrived, she was murdered. Debbi's body was found with multiple stab wounds and evidence she fought back. There have been no shortage of theories on Debbi's case, but her case has gone cold. WOWT-TV in Omaha assisted in the production of this episode.

Beyond the headlines of the daily news cycle lie stories that have lingered for years, sometimes decades, in the shadows of the Inland Northwest. Help Me Hayley: Cold Case Files is a podcast that brings those stories back into the light. Guided by NonStop Local journalist Hayley Guenthner, this series digs into the details of Spokane's most notorious and often forgotten unsolved crimes. Hayley's experience isn't just from a script; when she's not anchoring weekend newscasts, she's on the ground producing investigative pieces and covering crime across the region. That firsthand perspective shapes every episode. Listeners will hear a careful examination of the facts, the timelines that don't add up, and the lingering questions that haunt families and investigators alike. This isn't about sensationalism; it's about a persistent search for clarity. Each case is presented with a journalist's rigor and a local's understanding, piecing together historical records, past reporting, and the human impact that remains fresh. The goal is to give voice to stories that deserve answers, exploring the complexities of investigations that have grown cold and remembering the lives at the center of them all. Tune in for a thoughtful, deep dive into the region's past, one unresolved mystery at a time.
