  • #18 "Amerithrax" The Anthrax Attacks of 2001

    In September of 2001 America experienced a series of calculated attacks meant to devastate and scare the American people. Nineteen Islamic extremists, associated with a group known as Al Qaeda, hijacked 4 planes and carried out suicide attacks, killing nearly 3000 people that day. A week later a second wave of attacks had started but this time the murder weapon was a deadly infectious disease...inhalation anthrax, we were facing a new threat, one that had been biologically engineered.

    In just a few short months 5 people would be dead and 17 others would have their lives changed forever.

    What was even scarier is, that as the investigation continued, all signs pointed to this attack being executed by one of our own.

  • #17 The Man That Ran Off The Belvedere
    On the evening of May 16, 2006 Rey Rivera was sitting in his office at his desk working from home. His cell rang and a short conversation ensued and we are left wondering who is on the other line. “Oh shit” Rey says then he grabs his keys, runs down the stairs and out the front door of his Baltimore home...thats the last time he was seen alive.

  • #16 The Murder of Amber Tuccaro

    On August 18, 2010 Amber Tuccaro, her 14- month old son (Jacob) and a female friend left their hometown of Fort McMurray and flew to Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. The girls were looking to have a fun weekend in the city.  Amber asked her friend to look after young Jacob while she reportedly hitchhiked into town to get some food for them.

    She got into a vehicle with an unknown man, and that was the last time Amber was seen alive.

  • #15 Alonzo Brooks With No Ride Home
    In front of the house are acres of cleared farm fields and behind the house is a creek that runs down and makes a swift turn right behind the house and heading away from the house. The creek has thick woods on each bank. The guys look up and down the long driveway, then cross over the road to look along the tree line on the other side. Here they found the boots and hat belonging to Alonzo.....a man rode up on a four wheeler coming from the direction of the house and told them they had to leave.
    They knew then, that something was really wrong.

  • #14 What's Up With Bardstown?
    There is something strange going on in the “Most Beautiful Small Town in America” with a population of around 13,000, Bardstown Kentucky has an unusual amount of unsolved murders...and bourbon, but that's ok.
     
    So what is going on in Bardstown? Is there a serial killer on the loose? Is there a gang problem no one wants to talk about? Drug ties and cartels? Crooked cops? Corrupt politicians? 
     
    Or just a lot of strange coincidences? No one can even say for sure if the murders are all connected...(I can...totally sure.)- Michael
