On the morning of March 24, 1994, 26-year-old Matthew Flores, a former Army lieutenant and Gulf War veteran, parked his rented car outside his new workplace in Santa Clara, California. Moments later, he was shot execution-style as he leaned into the car to grab his jacket. The parking lot was full of employees starting their day, yet no one saw the shooter.

Security footage revealed a dark Ford Explorer circling the lot suspiciously around the time Matt was killed, but unfortunately, his murder was not captured on camera.

Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have ever been identified publicly. It’s been over 30 years since Matt was killed, and investigators are still searching for the killer...

On the morning of August 2, 2008, 69-year-old William “Bill” Walker was at his workshop near Moses Lake, Washington, when an explosion suddenly went off, killing him instantly. Hours later, just after midnight on August 3, another blast ripped through the home of 53-year-old Javier Adame, just miles away, also killing him instantly.

Investigators were stunned by the two deadly explosions happening so close in proximity and in time. As they pieced together the scenes, they realized both deaths were caused by carefully concealed pipe bombs, manufactured by the same person or people. Despite this connection, investigators could never find a link between the victims, or a clear reason why anyone would want them dead.

It’s been over 16 years since Bill and Javier were murdered, and investigators are still searching for the person, or people, responsible…

Between 9:00 and 10:00 am on August 2, 2008, Bill Walker was killed by a pipe bomb concealed inside a marine battery charger at his home on Fourth Street Northeast, about four miles east of Moses Lake, Washington. 

Then, at around 12:30 am on August 3, Javier Adame was killed by a similar pipe bomb hidden inside a police scanner left outside his home on Stratford Road Northeast, just outside the Moses Lake city limits. 

Investigators determined that the pipe bombs used to kill both men were manufactured by the same unknown individual or group.

Anyone with information about the murders of Bill Walker and Javier Adame is urged to contact the Grant County Sheriff’s Office at (509) 754-2018. A reward is available for information leading to an arrest.

On the early morning of June 27, 1995, 27-year-old Jodi Huisentruit, a news anchor in Mason City, Iowa, overslept and rushed out the door to head to work. But she never made it in. Concerned coworkers called the police, who found Jodi’s red Mazda Miata in her apartment’s parking lot. Evidence at the scene suggested a struggle, leading police to believe Jodi had been abducted as she tried to get into her car.

In the days that followed, search teams scoured Mason City and beyond, but no trace of Jodi was ever found. It’s been more than 29 years since Jodi disappeared, and investigators are still searching for answers…

By 7:15 am, police had been called to her apartment complex at 550 N Kentucky Avenue in Mason City, where they found signs of a struggle near her red Mazda Miata. Her belongings were scattered in the parking lot, but Jodi was nowhere to be found.

Jodi is a white woman with brown eyes, standing at approximately 5'3". At the time of her disappearance, she weighed between 110 and 120 pounds and had blonde hair.

She told him she planned to head home before picking up her son from school later that day. But Corrie never arrived, and her family quickly grew concerned.

When they went to check on her, Corrie’s house was empty. Inside, they found fresh groceries and one of her shoes on the stairs, but both Corrie—and her van—were missing. Two days later, her van was found abandoned in a field near a wooded area close to her home. Despite extensive searches, Corrie was never found, leaving her family without answers.

On December 20th, 2009, Logan McQueary was supposed to gain physical custody of his nearly eight month old son, Gabriel. But when Logan arrived to pick him up, both he and Gabriel's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, weren't home. For days, Logan tried contacting Elizabeth, but she didn't respond. Then, on December 27th, Logan received a text message from Elizabeth claiming she had murdered Gabriel.

Investigators immediately launched a search for both Gabriel and Elizabeth, but when they located Elizabeth days later, Gabriel was nowhere to be found. Elizabeth eventually told police that she didn't kill her son, but instead participated in an underground adoption in San Antonio, Texas. Investigators looked into Elizabeth's claims, but they were never able to confirm her story. It's been almost 15 years since Gabriel disappeared, and investigators are still searching for him.

Nearly eight month old Gabriel Johnson was last seen on December 26th, 2009 at the Home Gate Studios and Suites in San Antonio, Texas. In the last known photo of Gabriel, he was wearing a white flannel pajama set decorated with reindeer, Santas, and Christmas trees, and a white knitted cap with light blue and green markings.
