The second episode in our coverage of the case of Lisa Lewis: in January of 1999, 27-year-old college senior and expectant mother Velecia “Lisa” Lewis was living in a South Memphis apartment with her mother, Bea; she was looking forward to spring because she’d be graduating, and her daughter was due to be born.
But just after New Year’s, Lisa’s mother arrived home from work and discovered Lisa had been murdered. And now, Lisa’s cousin—who worked in law enforcement departments for years—is trying to solve her cold homicide case.
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.
