Real Life Real Crime | The Disappearance of Patricia Viola & the Law That Changed Missing-Person Cases
Cyndi Overton tells the story of Patricia Marie Viola, a New Jersey mother who disappeared without a trace on February 13, 2001. Partial remains recovered at Rockaway Beach the following year remained unidentified for a decade before DNA finally gave Patricia her name back. But while her family waited for answers, husband Jim Viola helped create Patricia's Law, changing how missing-person DNA is collected and compared with unidentified remains. More than 25 years after Patricia disappeared, one question remains: What happened to her?
