In broad daylight, three mothers—two with their young children—vanished from the upscale Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, Florida.  Each case seemed eerily similar: women abducted in a place that should have been safe, their fates sealed just moments after stepping into the parking lot.

Only one mother and her child would survive, escaping after a harrowing ordeal. But why were they spared while the others were brutally executed?

Today, we will be covering the murders of Randi Gorenberg, and Nancy & Joey Bochicchio-  as well as the abduction of Jane and Johnny Doe. Better known as the Boca Mall Murders, these cases remain unsolved, and as terrifying and unsettling today as they were when they first happened in 2007.
