In August of 1969, Dorothy Miller, the only female real estate agent in the city of Burlington, Iowa, received a call from a man named Robert Clark, asking to see the for sale property at 118 Grand Street. Dorothy agreed to show it to the man that evening, but made sure her husband, Fred Miller, came along for safety purposes. The next day, the man called Dorothy and asked to see the property again, and this time, Dorothy went with the man alone. She was found dead at the property the next day, with multiple stab wounds to her head and back and she had been sexually assaulted.

42 years later, in West Des Moines, Iowa, a 27-year-old real estate agent by the name of Ashley Okland was set to attend an open house at a new model home property in an upscale part of town. Ashley, who had not an enemy in the world, was targeted in broad daylight, by a gunman who came through the front door of the town home and shot her twice, killing her. Both cases remain unsolved to this day.
