Summary

As we approach the 34th anniversary of Amy Mihaljevic's abduction and unsolved murder, I am looking for cases from that era that have recently been solved. This week, I highlight a case 25 days before Amy was lured to the Bay Village Shopping Plaza in 1989. The case had been unsolved until just last week. This is why you can never give up and never stop pursuing answers. We will have the technology to end these nightmare cold cases one day. Thirty-four years after Krista Martin was found dead in her Kansas apartment, the Wichita Police Department has identified a suspect in her murder. The suspect, Paul Hart, was killed in a car accident in 1999, the police said in a news conference Monday. - CBS Sources: KSN TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFWb-FWQ1hw Who Killed Amy Mihaljevic? https://www.kake.com/story/49757342/police-solve-cold-case-murder-of-wichita-woman-after-34-years https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wichita-suspect-krista-martin-murder-1989-dna-match/ Wichita Cold Case Unit Learn more about your ad choices.
