Christy Bautista, a 31-year-old woman, was tragically killed in Washington, D.C., in March 2023. She was staying at the Ivy City Hotel when she was stabbed multiple times. The suspect arrested and charged in her murder is 43-year-old Darrell D. Rushton from Maryland.

Rushton reportedly entered Bautista's hotel room shortly after she checked in. Witnesses heard sounds of distress coming from the room, and police were called. When officers arrived, they found Bautista with fatal injuries and arrested Rushton at the scene. Investigations indicated that the attack was both brutal and unprovoked.

The motive remains unclear, but Rushton had a criminal history, raising questions about why he targeted Bautista. Her case has drawn attention to the safety of travelers and the tragic consequences of random acts of violence.

This episode unravels the chilling mystery of Robert "Bobby" Adam Whitt and Myoung Hwa Cho, a mother and son whose identities remained unknown for over two decades. Bobby, dubbed "The Boy Under the Billboard," and Myoung, a Jane Doe found along a roadside, were both victims of a brutal series of events in 1998. Through the tireless efforts of investigators and advancements in forensic genealogy, their names—and their tragic fates—were uncovered in 2019.

We delve into the heartbreaking details of their lives, the deception that kept their murders hidden, and the journey that led to justice. This is a story of loss, resilience, and the power of never giving up on the forgotten.
