  • Hawaii: Dawn Momohara and Nancy Anderson

    Hawaii: Dawn Momohara and Nancy Anderson
    Jun 30 2025
    On Monday, March 20th, 1977, 16-year-old Dawn Momohara received a call at the home she shared with her mother in Honolulu. It was an unknown male who asked to meet her at the local Ala Mohana shopping center. Telling her mother she would be back later, Dawn left without another word. When she hadn't returned home by midnight, her mother called the police. Dawn was found the next morning, dead, at her nearby High School. She had been raped and strangled. The case soon went cold.
    Nancy Anderson was born in Michigan, but, after High School, in 1971, wanted adventure. She soon moved to Oahu in Hawaii and found a roommate and a job at the local McDonald's, also at the Ala Mohana shopping center. Things were going well until the end of January 1972, a mere four months after moving to Hawaii, Nancy was found dead in her bathroom by her roommate. She had been stabbed. Her case also went cold.
    Two cases, 6 years apart that went cold, but, miraculously, and with the help of forensics, science, DNA and geneaology, were solved more than four decades later.

Kay had been a former beauty queen, playboy bunny and showgirl and had been married four times before. On Thursday, May 1st, 2008, Kay was home from work because she was not feeling well, and reading a book when she went to open the door for a mysterious stranger. A few minutes after that, Kay was brutally murdered in broad daylight.
    Police interviewed everyone they knew to be associated with Kay, and even Hal, her husband was ruled out. They also released a sketch of the assumed murderer, which a neighbor had seen on two occasions. Nothing. Kay's murder remains unsolved to this day.

    Florida's Killer Grandma
    Jun 2 2025
    Lois and Dave Reiss lived in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota and raised a family. Lois ran a daycare business for awhile out of the couple's home and Dave ran a successful wax worm farm. Everything was good, from the outside. From the inside, the couple was plagued by mental illness and abuse. Lois was also suicidal and addicted to gambling.
    On March 12, 2018, Lois came down to the wax worm farm to ask another employee to run payroll, something Dave always did. This strange request would set off a chain of events that included evading the law, a fugitive from justice, multiple murders and complete mayhem in The Great State of Florida.
