Lindsey always knew she wanted to be a detective. Her inspiration came after reading about the terrifying murders committed by notorious serial killer Ted Bundy who grew up in her hometown of Tacoma, Washington. Also seared into her memory was the 1986 murder of a young girl who’d been out for a bike ride in a local park when she went missing. The teen was later found brutally murdered, but the case was never solved. The senseless killing of an innocent young girl would leave an indelible black cloud over Tacoma for three decades. 

    Lindsey’s twenty-one-year law enforcement career was motivated by the horrifying crimes against young women and girls that impacted her as a child and ignited her relentless pursuit of justice for victims.
