    STILL UNSOLVED: The Murder of John Evers Robinson (Connecticut)

    In December of 2024, I shared an episode about a 24-year-old musician whose life was cut short in New Haven, Connecticut in 1990. More than three decades later, the murder of John Evers Robinson remains unsolved and the questions surrounding what happened to him have only grown more complicated with time. I’m bringing this story back because it needs your attention and action in a new way. Here’s John’s sister, Jocelyn Jackson. “It’s been 35 years since a family member picked me up from high school and told me as we drove to the airport that my brother John was dead. I immediately went silent and started crying. When we got to the airport, it was to hug my mom through tears before she got on a plane to fly to New Haven. All I could think was that my big brother wasn’t in the world anymore. That moment left an indelible mark on my perception of the world. That moment was the beginning of my instinct to never stop seeking for justice, to never let the people who did this think they got away with murder.  Those feelings I felt on that day with my family are the eternal repository of energy that I pull from each year as I continue to invite accountability for my brother's brutal unsolved murder. Unfortunately, a lot of families know this feeling. The feeling of decades passing, sometimes even knowing who’s responsible, but never enough evidence to get resolution.  Every year I actively continue the momentum of his case by sharing his story in a new way. This year it’s by starting a petition on change.org to increase the reward money for new leads from witnesses. We know a lot of time has passed, but over the last few years as we’ve talked to John’s friends and visited New Haven, we have experienced how fresh people’s memories are still of John, and of the time that he went missing, and then was found dead.  We believe that there are people out there who know more and can share more than they ever have before. Please come forward and share what you know. The smallest detail combined with other new leads can be what either links all the other information together or alternatively, finally destabilizes the code of silence amongst the co-conspirators that’s been kept for all these years.  Thank you for taking the time to sign this petition. Thank you for helping us keep the momentum strong. It’s heartbreaking to think how much more harm has been caused in these last 35 years by the same people who killed my brother. We believe my brother knew his killers. We finally want to know them, too.” If you have information regarding the 1990 murder of John Evers Robinson in New Haven, Connecticut, please contact the Connecticut Cold Case Unit at 1 (866) 623-8058 or the New Haven Police Department at 1 (866) 888-8477.You can sign the petition to increase the reward for new leads in the 1990 unsolved murder of John Evers Robinson here.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/stillmissing-johneversrobinson   Dark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.

    The Murder of Mark Knapp (Vermont)

    When Mark Knapp’s routine commute home from work one February night in 1984 ended with his car abandoned and his body at the bottom of an old marble quarry, the shock rippled far beyond one family. What followed was not a straight line from crime to justice. Suspects were quickly identified and charged in connection with Mark’s death, but shifting narratives and fragile witnesses fractured the entire foundation of the case just as the truth came into view.

    The Suspicious Death of Cam Lyman (Rhode Island)

    Cam Lyman vanished in the summer of 1987, leaving behind a forty-acre estate, dozens of prizewinning dogs, and a silence that would stretch on for more than a decade.  Friends and family disagreed on whether Cam had walked away or been taken or worse. Meanwhile, millions of dollars in trusts and assets seemed to evaporate. When Cam was finally found, hidden beneath the very ground no one had searched, the mystery didn’t end. It compounded.  While police spoke in hints about suspects, the only charge ever filed had nothing to do with murder. In this case, every lead seems to circle back to the same question: if you follow the money, will it reveal what happened to Cam, or just uncover another carefully buried secret? If you have information relating to the unsolved case of Cam Lyman, please contact the Hopkinton Police Department at (401) 377-7750.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/camlyman   Dark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.

    The Murder of Brandi "Amy" Sullivan (Massachusetts)

    17-year-old Brandi “Amy” Sullivan was used to coming and going. She was restless, independent, and always in motion. So when she didn’t come home in the summer of 1996, her family tried not to panic. But this time was different. Weeks later, Amy was found dead in the woods behind a warehouse in suburban Massachusetts. What followed was an investigation plagued by missing time, withheld details, and a crucial lie that shifted the timeline of her final days. There were people who saw Amy after she was reported missing. People who didn’t come forward. Why? Nearly three decades later, no one has been held accountable for Amy’s murder. It’s time for that to change. If you have information about Amy’s case, contact the Tewksbury Police Department at (978) 851-7373 or via the anonymous tip line at (978) 851-0175. You can also contact the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the District Attorney’s Office at (781) 897-6600.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/brandiamysullivan   Dark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.

    The Murder of Elizabeth Sterling Seeley (Connecticut)

    Every now and then I uncover a case buried deep in the archives with circumstances that prove truth is stranger than fiction. This story is one of them. When a prominent Bridgeport, Connecticut woman failed to show up for lunch with a friend, it led to a devastating discovery in her overflowing home that had become a sort of treasure trove of local history. The investigation stalled until months later when some of the woman’s treasures started showing up around town.  With a suspect identified, the case was nearly closed until the accused killer quite literally slipped through investigators’ hands in one of the most bizarre escapes I’ve ever encountered.

    The Murder of Shirley McAvoy (Maine)

    In late summer of 1990, a mother in central Maine seemed to slip quietly out of her own life. Shirley McAvoy had been navigating a painful separation, leaning on friends and trying to rebuild a sense of normalcy. Then, shortly before a scheduled court date related to her pending divorce, she simply disappeared. Days turned into weeks, and small, unsettling details began to surface—things that didn’t fit with the idea of someone who’d chosen to leave. What started as a missing persons case slowly transformed into something far more disturbing, stretching well beyond the quiet town where Shirley was last seen. More than 35 years later, investigators are still trying to identify a mystery man believed to know exactly what happened to Shirley. If you recognize “Jerry” or have any information about the murder of Shirley McAvoy, please contact Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit - Central at (207) 624-7076 x9. You may also submit a tip using the Maine State Police tip form.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/shirleymcavoy   Dark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.

    The Murder of Mary Monsell (Connecticut)

    More than a century ago during the winter of 1923, a quiet Christmas in East Hartford, Connecticut took a devastating turn that would echo far beyond that holiday. Mrs. Mary Monsell never arrived for the dinner she’d been warmly invited to, and within hours, her home became the center of a crime that would send police searching for a suspect who vanished into the world and never returned.  Mary’s name rarely appears in headlines now. Her story has nearly slipped beneath the weight of time. But history leaves clues if you’re willing to look, and some stories are worth digging up again.
