MURDERED: Nori Amaya

On Halloween night in 2009, 38-year-old D.C. restaurateur and salsa queen Nori Amaya went out dancing, came home alone, and was found strangled in her bed two days later. Police have DNA and hours of surveillance footage, but in a building full of people in Halloween masks, they've never been able to identify her killer. Sixteen years later, the key to solving this case could be a secret someone in Nori's world is still keeping, or something that went missing from her apartment the night she died.

MISSING: Gregory ‘Keith’ Mann Jr.

It’s the kind of detail that lingers: a meeting, just after midnight… that no one can explain. In May 1997, 20-year-old Keith Mann was building a future—new apartment, new job, new fiancée. But sometime after being dropped off at home late that night, Keith stepped back out into the dark to meet someone. By morning, he was gone. The only thing left behind was a borrowed car from the dealership he’d been working at. Found abandoned in a church parking lot right next to his parent’s home. Decades later, that midnight meeting is still a mystery. No one has ever come forward. If you remember Keith or anything about his life in Wichita Falls in 1997, his family is still searching for answers.  You can share information or memories through the Missing Mann Project website or connect with them on the Missing Mann Project Facebook page , where they continue to keep Keith’s story alive – and hope that one day, the person he went to meet will finally be known.

INFAMOUS: The Horsch House of Horrors

It started with a parked car near Philadelphia's Liberty Bell and a woman's voice from inside: "You're going to hurt me." Within hours, investigators were at the door of a boarded-up rowhouse in the city's Olney neighborhood. What they found inside raised more questions than answers, and months later, they're still trying to separate what's real from what was staged. So our team started digging into the house, the men who lived there, and the women whose trails lead back to it.
