In 1953, Cecil Wells was a wealthy businessman who was married to the picture-perfect bombshell blonde and was a huge investor in many Alaska businesses; he had it all. That all changed in October of 1953, when he was murdered in his bed, and his wife was severely beaten and left for dead. Cecil’s wife, Diane, survived her injuries, and initially, investigators believed it was a robbery gone wrong, but just a few days later, police began looking deeper into Diane and her rumored affair with a Jazz drummer. The case made national headlines, and public opinion became torn between Diane being a victim or an accessory to her husband's murder. The headlines caused real damage to Diane and their son, and to this day, the case remains unsolved.

Crystal Arensdorf was last seen in the early morning hours of July 4th, 2001, at Knicker’s Saloon in Dubuque, Iowa. Earlier that evening, Crystal watched the annual fireworks display by the river before heading over to Knicker’s with several friends.

Crystal was last seen around 2 am inside Knicker’s. According to witnesses, Crystal and the bartender had plans to share a cab to continue the night in East Dubuque, Illinois, across the river, but no one ever saw her leave the bar.

Crystal's family knew something was wrong when they hadn't heard from her the next day, which was completely out of character for her.

Crystal’s keys and purse were later found at Knicker’s, and all the patrons and staff were interviewed, and polygraphs were given to some suspects, but her case is still unsolved 25 years later.
