24 Years: Alissa Turney

In the summer of 2019, two friends met up at a very popular park and within 14 minutes, they were both shot and killed in broad daylight. While it’s been 6 years since their murders, at the end of May 2025, their names were back in the news as investigators began looking into a murder-suicide they believe may be related. Kate Brown and Carnell Sledge were shot and killed at the Rocky River Reservation in Fairview Park, Ohio, on June 4th, 2019. Kate was 33 years old, and Carnell was 40 years old. As of recording this episode, their case remains unsolved.
