BELLINGHAM, Wash. — An Acme woman’s murder and how it was solved nearly three decades later is the subject of ABC’s 20/20 program on Friday.
Mandy Stavik was 18-years-old when she went for a jog and disappeared in 1989.
Her body was found three days later in the Nooksack River.
It took nearly 30 years, but the cold case was solved, resulting in the arrest and conviction this year of Timothy Bass of Everson.
Sheriff Bill Elfo says he hopes some good will come from ABC’s telling of Mandy’s story to a national audience.
The two-hour special, called “30 Years Searching” runs Friday at 9 PM on ABC and features interviews with Stavik’s family as well as Sheriff Bill Elfo and Prosecutor Dave McEachran who stayed on past retirement to prosecute Bass.
