A Soda Can Solved a 28-Year-Old Case - The Mandy Stavik Story

A quiet small town.
A young woman who went out for a run.
And a single soda can that changed everything.

In 1989, 18-year-old Mandy Stavik disappeared from Acme, Washington. What should have been an ordinary afternoon turned into a tragedy that haunted her family and community for decades.

For 28 years, the case remained silent. No answers. No justice.
Until one overlooked detail — preserved by chance — reopened the investigation and led detectives back to the truth.

In this full-length true crime documentary, we retrace the final hours of Mandy’s life, the original investigation, the years of unanswered questions, and the moment when a single piece of evidence finally broke the case wide open.

This is not just a story about time passing.
It’s a story about patience… and how justice can arrive decades later.
