‘Who Killed Kelly?’ podcast series launches on The Vault

The Vault podcast reveals new details from a 1,300-page police file and shares the family’s ongoing efforts to solve Kelly Robinson’s 1984 murder after nearly 40 years.

  • The Vault's recent series now has a companion podcast that takes listeners behind the scenes and includes an interview with a man once considered a potential suspect, available on major podcast platforms.
  • Roughly three years ago, Jeff Lucas discovered through a DNA test that Kelly Jean Robinson was his mother, and earlier this year his wife Jean Monthei found a Forum News Service story prompting a request for the investigative file from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
  • The investigative file shows more than 1,300 pages including a semen sample, and autopsy findings indicate Robinson was held down in the water by her neck and shoulders.
  • Investigators say they likely know who killed Kelly Jean Robinson but lack enough evidence to charge anyone, while Kelly Jean Robinson's family calls the case heartbreaking yet remains hopeful.
  • Despite the passage of roughly 40 years, Kelly Jean Robinson, 22 at time of death, was found May 28, 1984, near Luverne; her family doubts she willingly went there due to multiple sclerosis and her blue Pro Wing tennis shoes.
