Two Can Keep A Secret

This week Pam will be telling you two cases from her past and present hometowns.

First, a story of a missing woman in Fort Myers, Florida. When Rupinder Goraya went missing in 2007 there wasn't much information about where she may have disappeared to. But when the TV show Cold Justice came to town to help the FMPD on the case, new evidence emerged leading to a conviction.

Then, a cold case from Jonesboro, Arkansas that still needs tips to hopefully bring a NE Arkansas family much needed peace. Amanda Tusing went missing in June 2000 after leaving her fiancé's home. Her body was found 3 days later and after 24 years we are still looking for answers. If you have any information about Amanda's murder, please call the Craighead County Sheriff's Office at 870-933-4551.
