Catch my Killer

For this episode, I spoke to Ray Johnson, a retired detective who has spent many years trying to solve the murders of sisters Barbara and Patricia Grimes. On December 28, 1956, the sisters had pooled together a couple of dollars and planned on attending an Elvis movie titled“Love me Tender” showing at the Brighton Theater in Chicago, Illinois.

The sisters left around 7:30 p.m. and never returned home.

On January 22, 1957, a man named Leonard Prescott was driving to a local grocery store. Along the way, he passed what he thought were two mannequins laying in the snow. He went home to get his wife. The couple returned to the scene and located the deceased bodies of Barbara and Patricia Grimes. The girls were nude and frozen from the cold. Over six decades have passed since the Grimes sisters were killed. The case still remains open.

On July 22, 2016, 25-year-old paramedic, Eric Pracht and his fiancé had a small party at their condo in Lakewood, Colorado.

Afterward, Eric went for a walk to get some air and cool off. It was after midnight when he left. He took his keys, wallet and phone with him. Strangely, he left without any shoes.

Lindsay Buziak's unsolved homicide remains one of Canada’s most infamous cold cases. On Feb. 2, 2008, the 24-year-old realtor was scheduled to show a Saanich home to a potential buyer. However, the woman caller had a foreign accent and made Lindsay uncomfortable. The woman wanted to see a million-dollar home in Saanich.

Lindsay told both her father, Jeff Buziak, and her boyfriend, Jason Zailo, that something seemed suspicious about the phone call. Police later said the call was made from a cellphone purchased in Vancouver under a false name and used only once for luring Lindsay to the home.
Lindsay asked her boyfriend to attend the showing with her. Zailo arrived 10 minutes late with a friend. The two men waited outside for Lindsay.

Zailo told officers that as he waited, he saw a man and woman open the front door and then close it again. Zailo tried the front door, but found it locked. His friend found the back door open. Zailo entered and found Lindsay dead in an upstairs bedroom. Someone had stabbed her at least 40 times.

For this episode, I spoke to John Hall, whose brother Pat was murdered in 1982. He seeks help from the public to identify his brother's killer.

On Saturday, October 16, 1982, Houston Police officers responded to a call in the 900 block of Harbor Street. Upon arrival, officers were advised that at approximately 2:30 a.m., near the corner of Harbor Street and Abilene Street, Mr. Pat Neff Hall, Jr. was shot and killed. The victim was walking home with a co-worker from Margie and Bill’s Lounge, located at 1134 Harbor Street.

For this episode, I spoke to Regina about the deaths of David Keller and Candice Kyser. Candice was Regina’s niece. May 8, 1999 is a date that will haunt Regina Lloyd forever. Over twenty years have passed since Regina’s older sister Sheila Kyser found her daughter Candice and David Keller murdered inside their Fort Mitchell, Alabama home. Although Candice was a year older than Regina, they were more like sisters than aunt and niece.

The Kyser and Keller families are still waiting for justice. Regina provided some insight into the relationship between David and Candice. They had dated in junior high school and were your typical teenage couple who found love at an early age. Candice and David became parents early and were ready for the challenge of parenthood.

The night before David and Candice died, they had spent time with Candice’s family. Regina said everything appeared fine. David and Candice left late in the evening to return home. They had plans to look at property with Sheila Kyser in the morning. After Sheila didn’t hear from her daughter, she drove to her daughter’s house to check on her. What she found would haunt her forever. She knocked on the front door and the back door. No answer.

Sheila knew something was wrong. She peeked in a window and saw her 2-year-old granddaughter unattended. She climbed in through a window and found her daughter’s body in her bedroom. Someone had shot her. Sheila grabbed her granddaughter and ran out the door for help. David was also found shot to death inside the home. Do you know who killed David and Candice? If so, please contact the Russell County Sheriff’s Office at 334-298-6535 or visit their website at: http://www.rcso.org/investigations.html. Also be sure to visit the Justice for Candis & David Facebook page.

Ellen Greenberg was a 27 year old school teacher who lived in Philadelphia. On January 26, 2011, she was found stabbed to death over 20 times inside the apartment she shared with her fiance Samuel Goldberg. Goldberg told the police he had gone to the gym and returned to find Ellen's body. He called the police at 6:33 p.m.

The coroner originally ruled Ellen was murdered. But for unknown reasons, Ellen’s death was reclassified as a suicide. The coroner said he was under pressure from Philadelphia police to change it to a suicide. The Greenbergs cannot understand why this happened. No one from law enforcement or the Pennsylvania AG’s office have ever given the family a satisfactory explanation.

Ellen was stabbed 20 times in the back of her neck and back. She was in the midst of making herself a fruit salad. So we are to believe that while in the middle of making something to eat, she just decided to end her life. Ellen’s parents said their daughter was excited about her career and starting a family. She had everything to live for. She had never mentioned suicide to anyone or even shown any signs. Joshua and Sandra Greenberg have filed a lawsuit against the Philadelphia Coroner's office to have their daughter's death reclassified from a suicide to a homicide.

If you know anything about her death, please send tips to the Justice for Ellen Facebook page or contact their attorney Joe Podraza, Philadelphia Pa, at (215) 882-1015 or email him at [email protected].

For this episode, I spoke to Wendy. Her father was married to a woman named Cyrena Jane Manning. The couple had five children together. Cyrena's ex-husband is Wendy's father. She is seeking justice for her father's first wife. Wendy's father has since passed so she is trying to figure out who killed Cyrena because the murder haunted her father.

On 11/20/1972, in Franklin, Pa, Cyrena was at home reading her Bible. Someone approached her from behind and brutally stabbed her to death. It was originally believed she was shot to death because the wounds were so large. It wasn’t until the autopsy that it was learned that Cyrena was stabbed to death and not shot.

Venango County, Pennsylvania authorities arrested and charged a man named Frank Sidloski with the crime. A jury acquitted Sidloski. So who killed Cyrena? Wendy has always thought the killer was someone close to Cyrena. How close? Wendy is convinced one of her siblings was involved in the homicide.

For this episode, I spoke to Osanna. She’s like many other mothers across the country. She’s probably just like your mother. She has children that she loves dearly. Unfortunately, she experienced a pain that many parents will never experience. She outlived her oldest son. His name was Ryan Kinnion. Today, her world has changed. She no longer has her son. All she has left are pictures and memories. In September 2014, someone left Ryan to die alongside a road.

There are people who know what happened to him, but they have refused to come forward with what really happened to Ryan. Are you someone who knows what happened to him. If you know something, I beg of you to please contact the proper authorities and help give Osanna and Ryan’s siblings the justice they so desperately need.
