True Crime Couple

It was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, 2001. Two separated parents were meeting at the family home so the kids could leave with one of them for the holiday. Then someone opened fire inside the garage.

When police arrived, one parent was dead and the other was wounded. The explanation seemed simple: two masked men, a robbery, bad timing. But nothing about that night was simple.

Along the Copper River in south-central Alaska exist tiny outposts and towns that are scattered along its banks. They are communities that have learned to both love and revere its presence. One of those very places was Tazlina, a tiny village of 421 people (1991).

Tazlina, the residents thought, was their own little slice of heaven. A remote community that believed they were beyond the reach of the violence they had heard so much about on the news at the dawn of the 21st century. But it would be the summer of 1991 that would change the town forever. One resident would say that they had all deluded themselves into believing that their isolation would protect them and that they really knew each other. But what would be revealed in the months-long investigation headed by the Alaska State Troopers was that evil can reach even the furthest corners of the world.

15 year old Elizabeth Ennen's parents wanted her to begin taking on more responsibility. For a teenager, babysitting seemed like the perfect place to start. On a cold January night in 2011, Elizabeth took a job watching two young children, but she never came home. She had done a wonderful job and was driven home but somewhere between the car and the safety of her home, Elizabeth seemingly vanished into the night.

When Jessica Carpenter was found murdered in her home on August 4, 2000 investigators searched for answers in what proved to be a very complicated case. As they did, rumors spread throughout the neighborhood, suspicions reached the people closest to the victim, and every lead seemed to raise more questions than it answered. The truth remained hidden behind an ordinary summer day and a series of moments that, at first glance, appeared completely unremarkable. What began as the murder of a 17-year-old girl would grow into a years-long mystery—one that challenged investigators, tested a grieving family, and proved that sometimes the most devastating crimes begin with something so routine that no one gives it a second thought.

On September 14, 2000, a concerned neighbor called 911 after hearing sounds of a violent fight in the apartment next door. Unable to gain entry after no one buzzed them into the building, responding officers eventually left, a decision they would later regret. What followed was the disappearance of a 34 year old flight attendant, a gruesome discovery, and a case that unraveled one shocking secret after another.
