In October of 2016, D.J. Fickey was shot and killed. Law enforcement immediately ruled the death a suicide, but his family and their private investigator have reason to believe that it was a homicide after witnesses and evidence came forward saying it was murder. So, why is this still unsolved?

March 24, 1994: Matt’s ninth day of training for his new job. That morning, he arrived at work and parked in the middle of the lot. As he exited his car, Matt Flores was shot once in the back of the head at point-blank range. He probably never even saw his killer. And incredibly, even though there were 22 people in the parking lot at the time, nobody else did either. Then the investigation was held up by bad luck. Despite the presence of several security cameras in the parking lot, the killing itself took place in a blind spot of the cameras. So, why would someone want Matt Flores dead? Family and law enforcement couldn't even come up with a motive.

Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s. His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography says he "was arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music." But the details of Hendrix's death on September 18th, 1970, are still unclear and widely disputed. The official ruling is that Hendrix had aspirated his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates, citing "insufficient evidence of circumstances." It was recorded as an open verdict. Was it an accident, suicide, or murder?

From 1951 to 1958, George Reeves played Superman in both a movie and popular television series. When the series ended, Reeves was too closely associated with the role to find other work. Then, on June 16, 1959, he was found dead. Reeves’ death may have been ruled a suicide, but not everyone believed it. While Reeves was depressed at the time of his death, there were oddities at the crime scene. Which leaves people with this unanswered question: Was it suicide or murder?
