Her body was found outside her apartment with a gunshot wound. The case remained unsolved for 9 years until investigators matched DNA from the crime scene to two suspects, Jesse and Joey McCartney, who were charged with her murder in 2023.The second case described the murder of 39-year-old Terry Turichak in Denver, Colorado in 1996.
