October 21st: Joann Bartholomew Killed (1987)
Some cases seem so simple that it feels like they should be easier to solve. No elaborate set up, DNA left behind, and no real premeditation. Not the work of some criminal mastermind. Yet, this isn’t always the case. On October 21st 1987 a woman was killed in a case that, on the surface, seemed like one that could be easily solved. Yet here we are decades later with no answers to speak of.

October 17th: Sasha Samsudean Disappeared (2015)
Taking advantage of a position of power is truly disgusting. On October 17th 2015 a young woman returned home from a night drinking to an apartment complex that, by all accounts, should have been incredibly safe. Only to be preyed upon by someone who used their power to access her and take her life away.
