Mysteries and Histories Georgia Marie

In 2019, Liz Barraza was setting up a garage sale on her driveway whilst neighbours got up and ready for the day. And then a car pulls up, someone gets out, and shoots her. Who was this mysterious person? Was it a random attack? Mistaken identity? Had someone taken out a hit on her?

In 2002 authorities in Eastlake, Ohio were called to a suicide in an apartment and it looked like it was going to be an open and shut case... until it turned out that the man, who they thought was Joseph Chandler Newton III, had been living under a false identity for YEARS. Recently he was identified, but no-one knows why he went on the run, abandoning his family forever.

One night in 1994, Bob and Bunny Lehton arrived home from church to find a masked intruder in their home, pacing back and forth, saying they were just there to rob them and was waiting for a lift. Despite all offers for him to take what he wished, the man refused to leave... until the couple's daughter Amy Gellert came home. Amy was brutally attacked and died from her wounds, with the perpetrator escaping on foot. He's never been found. 

In 1972, a male body was found in a secluded area in Volusia County, Florida. At the time it was thought that the remains were that of an adult, but testing decades later showed that it was more than likely a child, a pre-teen boy. For decades, investigators have been looking in the wrong places, but could he be found now?

32 years ago, much-loved mum Vera Anderson received a phone call that resulted in her leaving her home at 10pm on a Saturday night and driving to a quiet, deserted area. Hours later, she would be found murdered in her car, in what appeared to be a hit. Despite extensive investigation, authorities have never found any motive, any reason as to why someone might want Vera dead.

FROM THE VAULT: In November 2010, 13 year old Yara Gambirasio disappeared after gymnastics in Lombardy, Italy. What followed was one of the most intensive police investigations ever seen in Italy, and eventually, her killer was captured.
