This episode has a little bit of everything. A mysterious death, an attempted murder, a suspicious arrest, and a letter writer who terrorized a small town with thousands of letters. Circleville, Ohio in 1977 was a safe, rural town where everyone knew everyone. When suddenly, Mary Gillispie received threatening letters in her mailbox from an anonymous sender. Will we ever know the Circleville letter writer's identity?

Bay Village, Ohio was once a safe and quiet small town near Lake Erie. This all changed on October 27, 1989. On this day, 10-year-old Amy Mihaljevic walked to the local shopping plaza after school to meet a man who told her he would take her on a shopping spree to find a gift for her mother, as she had recently gotten a promotion at work. Unbeknownst to Amy, this man was no family friend. He abducted Amy, and later took her life. For over 33 years, the city of Bay Village has been searching for her killer. Do you know something? There is currently a $50,000 reward for information leading to the parties responsible for Amy's death.
