About this listen

On the night of Christmas Eve 1987, 22-year-old newlywed, Lisa Solomon had planned a beautiful dinner to celebrate Christmas and her two months married anniversary with her husband, Matthew Solomon in their Huntington, New York apartment. She was ecstatic about this dinner and had it perfectly planned out, but things didn't go as planned.
The next morning on Christmas Day, Matthew frantically called he and Lisa's families stating she went for a walk at 10:45 PM the night prior and hadn't returned. A search was launched with volunteers dropping their Christmas plans to help search for Lisa. Matthew played the distraught, worried husband to everyone including the media, but 6 days later on December 30th, her remains were located in a field just one mile from the Solomon home. She had been beaten, strangled, and thrown in trash bags. Matthew was convicted and sentenced to 18 years to life but was released in 2019 at the age of 55 after serving 31 years.
