On a spring weekend in 1970, a group of boy scouts went camping on a church property in Pennsylvania and spent the weekend having fun and doing typical outdoor activities. But on the morning they were to leave, the scouts would wake up to find on of their own dead in his sleeping bag. Despite two dozen people being at the campsite and everyone sleeping within feet of each other, nobody claims to have seen or heard a single thing. Did an intruder make their way into camp and murder the boy without getting caught? Or was somebody who was on the trip with him responsible?

The release of this episode, on February 10th, 2025 will mark a devastating milestone. The 35th Anniversary of possibly the most horrific crime the state of New Mexico has ever seen. Early on a Saturday morning, the community of Las Cruces New Mexico would have its sense of safety and serenity shattered forever, when two gunman entered a family-owned small business and gunned down seven people execution style. Miraculously, there were survivors, including a brave 12 year old girl who found the courage to call for help and save others, despite being critically wounded herself.
While this case has had a bit more news coverage than some of the others cases I have covered, it hasn’t amounted to answers. In fact, there have never even been named suspects. My hope is that in honoring the lives lost and changed forever in this senseless act of violence, the conversation will continue and someone who knows something will come forward.

A computer programmer is running month end inventory at an empty office park on her day off. At least, she thought it was empty.
The next morning her colleagues reported to work and found the building flooded and signs that a fire had been started around the woman's desk. Further examination would reveal blood at her workspace and the next few days would uncover one ominous clue after another.
Despite a prime suspect emerging, her body has never been found and nobody has ever been charged in her case.
