In June of 1993, a quiet Sunday evening in Windsor, North Carolina turned horrific when a man entered the Be-Lo grocery store just after closing time. Within minutes, he had gathered the store manager, a cashier, and the overnight cleaning crew into the back of the store—what followed was a calculated act of violence that left three people dead and two more clinging to life. Despite surviving the ordeal, one man’s eyewitness account and a mountain of investigative effort have not been enough to bring justice. Over 30 years later, the murders of Grover Cecil, Joyce Reason, and Johnnie Rankins remain unsolved. Join Ali and Eli as they go over this horrific cold case.
*** If you know anything about the murders of Grover Cecil, Joyce Reason, and Johnnie Rankins at the BeLo grocery store in June of 1993 please call the Windsor police at 252-794-3111 or the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-334-3000 ***

In the fall of 2016, eight-year-old Ameera Deadrick disappeared from Houston, TX after years of custody struggles between her parents. What began as a summer visit with her father turned into a permanent separation, despite her mother Tiara’s efforts to bring her home. The last confirmed sighting of Ameera was a Facebook video in early 2016—months before all contact stopped. When her father went to jail, no one knew where Ameera was. He claimed to have left her with a woman named Linda, or “Tootie,” in Waco, TX—someone police have never been able to locate. With no records, no sightings, and few answers, Ameera’s case remains unsolved.

In May of 1991, 9-year-old Christina Pipkin vanished while going door to door selling costume jewelry for a school fundraiser in the tiny town of Hickory Ridge, Arkansas. Described as bright, creative, and full of life, Christina was last seen around 6:30 PM—by nightfall, her family was sounding the alarm. Within hours, half the town had mobilized to search. Days later, her body was found submerged in a water ditch, fully clothed but missing her shoes and school materials. With no clear cause of death beyond drowning, police suspected foul play. Despite a later arrest based on a suspicious comment and a single strand of hair found in a suspect’s car, the case unraveled. Nearly nine years after her murder, charges were dropped, and to this day, no one has been held accountable for Christina’s death. Her case remains cold—but never forgotten.

On January 11, 1996, seven-year-old Karen Grajeda vanished while playing outside her Tucson, Arizona apartment complex. The lively first grader had spent the afternoon riding her bike, playing Nintendo, and skating with her younger sister before stepping outside one last time—never to return. As darkness fell, panic set in, and a massive search effort began. Despite scouring the area, knocking on hundreds of doors, and chasing down leads—including reported sightings and a suspicious white compact car—no trace of Karen was found.

In August 1990, 11-year-old Heidi Seeman disappeared while walking home in San Antonio, Texas. A red car with tinted windows had been seen circling her before she vanished.
