In 1960, Irene Garza left a Good Friday service in McAllen, Texas and never came home. The man who became central to the case was John Feit, a Catholic priest who had been among the last people known to see her. For decades, the investigation stalled. Preserved evidence from the original rape kit, witness accounts, and Feit's own statements eventually gave prosecutors a path back into the case. The video follows how a trusted religious figure remained outside the reach of investigators until DNA evidence changed the legal picture. If you enjoy cold cases built around betrayal, preserved evidence, and courtroom breakthroughs, this one's for you.
