  1. Justice for Keysha Brown

    MAR 10

    Justice for Keysha Brown

    A Las Vegas cold case sat unsolved for 19 years — until DNA evidence pointed investigators to a convicted serial killer already behind bars. But even now, justice for Keysha Brown remains uncertain. In October 2004, 28-year-old Keysha Tamika Brown was found murdered in her Las Vegas apartment. Witnesses saw a man enter her home and later leave carrying a duffel bag, but despite evidence collected at the scene, investigators had no suspect. Her case went cold for nearly two decades. Then, in 2023, new DNA testing and a fresh review by a cold case detective led police to a shocking conclusion: the person responsible may have been a man already serving multiple life sentences for killing other women in Las Vegas in 2005. In this episode, we share what we were able to learn about Keysha’s life and the lives of three other women investigators say were also killed by the same man: Sheila “Pooka” Quarles, Marilee Coote, and Rena Gonzales.  Their stories were largely overshadowed by the sensational details of the crimes. Today, we focus on the victims — who they were, the families who loved them, and the unanswered questions that remain nearly twenty years later. https://sinspod.co/116 https://sinspod.co/116transcript https://sinspod.co/116blog https://sinspod.co/116sub Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.

    Flashback - The Disappearance of Karla Rodriguez - Swing Shift (Bonus)

    In this week’s Swing Shift, we go behind the scenes of our flashback episode on the disappearance of Karla Rodriguez. More than twenty-five years after seven-year-old Karla vanished from her Las Vegas neighborhood, we revisit the investigation through a different lens: what would this case look like if it happened today? We discuss the forensic limitations of 1999, how DNA databases and genetic genealogy have evolved, and how modern tools — from Amber Alerts and highway billboards to license plate readers, drone surveillance, and cell phone tracking — have transformed missing child investigations. We also talk about why renewed attention still matters, how cold cases generate new leads decades later, and the very real difference between closure and uncertainty for families of the missing. Karla would be 33 years old today. This conversation is about remembering her — and about why technology may change, but the need for answers does not. Available exclusively for subscribers. https://sinspod.co/115 https://sinspod.co/115transcript https://sinspod.co/115blog https://sinspod.co/115sub Domestic Violence Resources http://sinspod.co/resources Click here to become a member of our Patreon! https://sinspod.co/patreon Visit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

    Flashback - The Disappearance of Karla Rodriguez

    A seven-year-old girl vanished in Las Vegas in 1999. Twenty-five years later, her family is still waiting for answers. On October 20, 1999, seven-year-old Karla Rodriguez disappeared from her Las Vegas neighborhood in the shadow of the Stratosphere. One moment, she was riding her bike and playing with friends. By nightfall, she was gone. More than twenty-five years later, Karla’s case remains unsolved. In this flashback episode, we revisit the timeline of Karla’s disappearance, the early investigative efforts, and the theories that have surfaced over the decades. From neighborhood searches and bloodhound tracking to national media attention and federal involvement, this case has never fully gone quiet. Karla would be 33 years old today. Her family continues to hope that answers will come. If you have ever wondered how a child can vanish in the middle of a city — and how a family lives with that uncertainty for decades — this episode is for you. If you have information about Karla’s disappearance, please contact Las Vegas Metro Police.
