Though flyers featuring Jenna's image were distributed across the country, and despite tips pouring in from all over, no solid leads emerged.

In this episode, we explore the tragic and mysterious 1982 murder of Patricia "Pat" Shea, a beloved 40-year-old physician's assistant from Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York. Pat was known for her kindness and dedication to helping others, including her elderly neighbor with dementia, Aggie. On the evening of July 25th, after returning from a weekend getaway, Pat went to check on Aggie, and the next day, she was found murdered in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, hogtied, strangled, and left in a conspicuous spot. While the case initially raised suspicions of a serial connection to other strangulation murders in the city, police struggled to find any clear links or leads. Despite an extensive investigation, including witness statements, vague clues, and a mysterious anonymous tip in 2021, Pat’s murder remains unsolved. Her family, particularly her nephew Kevin, continues to seek justice. However, the trail remains cold, and the truth behind Pat’s brutal death still eludes those trying to uncover it.
