Soldier Comes Home on Leave and Never Makes It Back
Soldier Comes Home on Leave and Never Makes It Back
A 19-year-old soldier on leave was shot and stabbed in a crowded public park, just steps from his family's home. Despite approximately one hundred witnesses and a well-lit scene, no one has ever been charged in his death. What really happened on that Friday night in the South Bronx?
In this episode, we analyze the unsolved murder of Solomon Robinson, an Army recruit with no history of trouble, who was killed in St. Mary's Park in 1998. We explore the details of the crime scene and the baffling clues that left investigators questioning the motive.
Case: Solomon Robinson
Date: April 3, 1998
Location: St. Mary's Park, South Bronx, New York City
Victim: Solomon Robinson, 19 years old

- Solomon Robinson was declared dead at 9:50 PM on April 3, 1998.

- His body was found near basketball courts in a well-illuminated section of the park.
- A black Nike wool cap and a wristwatch were found near his body; his wallet and identification were missing.
