Alonzo Brooks, 23, disappeared after attending a farmhouse party outside La Cygne, Kansas, on April 3, 2004. His friends left the gathering without him, and searches of the surrounding area initially failed to locate him. Twenty-seven days later, Alonzo’s family organized another search and found him in Middle Creek, in an area authorities had previously examined.

Federal authorities later reopened the investigation and conducted another examination of Alonzo’s remains. In 2021, investigators determined that his death resulted from the actions of another person, but no one has been charged. The FBI continues offering a $100,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was fatally wounded in Las Vegas, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is facing trial over his alleged role in the 1996 attack. Prosecutors do not claim Davis personally fired the shots but allege he obtained the firearm and helped organize the retaliatory encounter after an earlier confrontation at the MGM Grand. Davis has discussed his alleged involvement repeatedly over the years in interviews and a memoir.

The defense argues those accounts were exaggerated for entertainment and that prosecutors lack key physical evidence, including the original firearm and vehicle. With the other occupants of the Cadillac no longer alive, Davis’s own statements are expected to become a major focus of the case. Jury selection concluded in August 2026, setting the stage for the first criminal trial connected to Shakur’s death.

Robert Durst spent decades surrounded by questions involving the disappearance of his first wife, Kathie Durst, and the deaths of Susan Berman and Morris Black. While filming HBO’s The Jinx, documentary filmmakers uncovered handwriting evidence connecting Durst to an anonymous note sent to police after Berman was found deceased. Durst was also unknowingly recorded making a series of comments while still wearing a live microphone after a tense interview.

Durst was arrested in 2015 and eventually went to trial in California in connection with Berman’s death. Prosecutors used documentary footage, handwriting evidence, witness testimony, and other records to build their case, while the defense challenged how some of the material had been interpreted. A jury found Durst guilty in 2021, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole before his death in custody the following year.

Pamela Turner, a 44-year-old mother and grandmother, died during an encounter with Baytown Police Officer Juan Manuel Delacruz in Baytown, Texas, on May 13, 2019. Delacruz was attempting to take Pamela into custody on outstanding misdemeanor warrants when a physical struggle began and she gained control of his Taser. The encounter was captured on both a witness’s phone and Delacruz’s body-worn camera.

Delacruz was later indicted on a felony charge connected to Pamela’s death and went to trial in 2022. Prosecutors and defense attorneys presented sharply different interpretations of whether the circumstances justified his actions during the final seconds of the encounter. A Harris County jury ultimately found Delacruz not guilty on October 11, 2022.

Twenty-seven-year-old Pepita Redhair disappeared in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in March 2020 after traveling there to visit her boyfriend. Her family became concerned when she suddenly stopped making her regular daily contact, and an unknown person later answered a message sent to Pepita’s phone and claimed the device had been purchased on the street. Her family has said disappearing without contacting them was completely out of character for her.

More than six years later, Pepita has not been found, and investigators have uncovered no known activity showing what happened after her last reported sighting. Her family continues advocating for answers while drawing attention to Pepita’s case and other missing Indigenous people. The investigation remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact authorities.
