Summary

Our second episode of two covering the unsolved death of Iman Cannon: on May 13th, 2008, the body of 21-year-old Tennessee native Iman Cannon was discovered behind the Atlanta business complex that housed Club Crucial, a night spot founded by rapper TI.

Iman, an aspiring rapper, had moved to Georgia for a fresh start. But less than a year after his relocation, he was murdered by unknown assailants, and his mother Sheila, still has no answers.

Season 18 covers four unsolved homicides in four states and across three decades: all are in need of local and national attention to be resolved.
