A crowded St. Patrick’s night in downtown Longmont, CO. After last call, Rita Gutierrez-Garcia steps into the alley west of 3’S Bar. At 3:07 a.m., her phone dials 911…and then goes silent.

And Rita never makes it home.

What follows is a years-long hunt through cell data, surveillance pulls, and a no-body indictment that ends only when someone finally tells detectives exactly where to look.

She went to Jamaica to write about beaches.

Instead, she became a story the island couldn’t explain.

In May 2000, travel writer Claudia Kirschhoch vanished from a luxury resort in Negril.

Her clothes were still in the room.

Her passport. Her camera. Her life.

Only her bathing suit, a T-shirt, and a radio were missing.

And somewhere between breakfast and sunset… she disappeared.

In December 1992, six people were murdered in Dayton, Ohio — over Christmas weekend. The killers? A group of teenagers who called themselves the Downtown Posse.

No motive. No mercy. Just violence… for the hell of it.
