In 2008 28 year old Kanika Powell, an army veteran, experienced a series of odd encounters on her doorstep. Mysterious men in different guises were turning up at her home asking for her by name. Kanika, knowing that something about their behaviour was very wrong, never opened the door. Scared by the strangers she started to take precautions to stay safe, but one day when Kanika returned home she found a man waiting for her.
He killed Kanika and to this day no one has any idea who he was, or why he killed her.

0:00.0 | Prime members, you can listen to Redhanded early and ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the app today. |
0:06.0 | Hi guys, you probably know what I'm going to say if you listen to last week's episode. We're not going to do this for much longer, but while we've still got you while the voting is still open. |
0:36.0 | Could you take literally like just five seconds and give us a vote. For the Bridge Podcast Awards, People's Choice Award for 2019. We don't want to bribe you because we didn't have to last a week because you got us into the top 20. But this year we will and we'll say if we get into the top 10 we will give you an extra episode. |
0:53.0 | Two seconds, that's all it takes. Link is in the description for this episode. Give us a vote. |
1:01.0 | I'm Hannah, I'm Sruti and welcome to Redhanded. This week's episode was actually a special request from our pal Dan Harmon. Quite fittingly for a requested episode, we really have had to sing for our supper on this one. I really hope that we've managed to pull this off. For quite a few reasons, there really isn't very much out there on today's case. |
1:24.0 | But as usual, we've sold it through the shit and the subreddits to tease out a story for you. But that doesn't mean that this case isn't incredibly frustrating. It absolutely is. I've literally been sitting in the British Library feeling like I've been pushing my brain out through my nose. |
1:38.0 | Honestly, I've never come across anything like it. I don't think I can't think of another case that has made me feel like so much like I'm banging my head against a wall. |
1:45.0 | This is the thing, I feel like it's cases where there's no information and it's the cases where there's so much information. I feel like that. The closest I've probably ever felt to how you felt about this was Dali Routier because there was so much information. |
1:58.0 | But I've done it. You're welcome. We've had to way through security clearances and dead ends to even get a feel for what might have happened here. And it won't take you long to find out why. So let's get going. |
2:09.0 | Keneke Powell was in her late 20s in 2008. She spent a great deal of her life in Prince George's County, which is in Maryland. As a kid, she lived with her siblings Jamal, Eric and Trina, her mum Judy Powell forest and her stepdad, David Forest. |
2:26.0 | Geographies are weirdly quite key this week. It turns out that Maryland is absolutely nowhere near where I thought it was. I don't know where I thought it was to be fair. |
2:36.0 | But until I was about 11, I was convinced that Egypt was just floating around by itself. I didn't compute that it was a part of Africa. |
2:43.0 | Good. I guess you were 11. We'll let you off. Hannah Blankface. But I think that's a bit old to not understand that considering how much time you spend in primary school studying the ancient Egyptians. |
2:53.0 | That is true. No longer since the government have now made it that British students will learn British history in chronological order. So you've literally got like year six as learning about like the fucking corn law repeals. That's hilarious. |
3:07.0 | We were back in the good old days when we were learning about the tutors and the ancient Egyptians and literally nothing else. |
3:12.0 | I think I learned about Buda Kerr. I think that's my only really early British Isles history. But the rest of it, yeah, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians. |
3:21.0 | Tudors and stewards. I definitely did the tutors and stewards of primary school. That was it. But we didn't do it all in chronological order. No, no, we just did the interesting bits. |
3:28.0 | Oh, the Mary Rose. I made a shoe box version of the Mary Rose on other primary school. Look how much it stuck with you. I've still got it. It's a really good seaweed. Anyway. |
3:38.0 | Maryland, not where I thought it was just like Egypt. Maryland shares borders with Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania. |
3:45.0 | Washington, DC is right next to it too. So please forgive my ignorance, but I did not know that. And I really hope that I am the only one who did you know that? |
3:52.0 | I never thought about it. I didn't know that I didn't know it. Still counts as not knowing. I'm not on my own. Exactly. |
3:57.0 | But Maryland's proximity to Washington, DC and all the important buildings and people that reside in the district county is an important factor in Kenehka's case. |
