Sherry Black
In November 2010, 64-year-old Sherry Black was brutally murdered inside the rare-book store she operated next to her home in South Salt Lake City, Utah. Sherry was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and lifelong book collector, and investigators struggled to understand why anyone would want to hurt her. Despite finding the killer’s blood, fingerprints, and other evidence at the scene, there were no matches in law-enforcement databases, and the case eventually went cold. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Sherry Black, the years her family spent searching for answers, and the remarkable advances in DNA technology that finally gave investigators the breakthrough they desperately needed. Nearly a decade later, investigators turned to the emerging field of forensic genetic genealogy, launching a painstaking search through family trees and potential relatives.

David Reed
In August 1985, 13-year-old David Reed disappeared after leaving his home in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania, for a bike ride. His bicycle was soon found beneath a railroad bridge, but David remained missing for nearly four months before his remains were discovered in a wooded area nearby. With little soft tissue remaining, his cause and manner of death were initially ruled undetermined, and one theory suggested he may have died from complications of juvenile diabetes. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss David Reed. For years, David’s family questioned the official conclusion and pushed for answers. Two decades later, a renewed investigation uncovered new witness information, leading authorities to exhume David’s remains and reexamine the evidence using modern forensic expertise. In 2008, his death was officially reclassified as a homicide, and investigators began piecing together what really happened on the day David vanished—ultimately uncovering a story that had remained hidden for more than 20 years.

Michelle Kinney
In July 2018, 53-year-old Michelle Kinney was living alone in Dubuque, Iowa. Known for her kindness and willingness to help people struggling, Michelle often opened her home to strangers who needed a place to stay. When concerned neighbors found her brutally murdered inside her apartment, investigators faced a large pool of potential suspects. A break came when detectives reviewed city traffic cameras and spotted Michelle walking home with a stranger carrying her groceries. The man entered her apartment with her and was later seen leaving alone. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Michelle Kinney. Her killer was already in jail on unrelated charges when detectives questioned him, and after initially denying involvement, he confessed to attacking Michelle in a rage, stabbing her repeatedly with a knife and fork before stealing money and leaving in her clothing because his own was covered in blood. Investigators soon learned the killer had a disturbing history of violence against women and had failed to report to probation just months before Michelle’s murder. The case left Michelle’s family devastated, but they continue to honor the generous, outgoing woman who spent her life helping others.

Starr Harris
Starr Harris was a beloved mother of three, living in Drummonds, Tennessee, with her husband, Rick, and their blended family. On June 1, 2010, Starr disappeared from her home after speaking with several people, including employee Rickey Bell, about a dispute over his paycheck. That evening, her stepson found her body in the woods behind the house. Starr had been sexually assaulted, beaten, and strangled, and investigators believed she knew her killer because there were no signs of forced entry. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Starr Harris. Evidence eventually pointed to Rickey Bell, whose DNA was found inside a condom recovered near Starr’s body. Bell was arrested and charged with murder and sexual assault, while his brothers were later accused of attempting to intimidate a witness. At trial, prosecutors argued Bell used a gun-shaped lighter to overpower Starr and forced her into the woods after their argument. The defense suggested another employee could have been responsible.

Bob Lee
Bob Lee, the Cash App founder and prominent tech executive, was stabbed to death in San Francisco in April 2023. Investigators focused on Nima Momeni after surveillance showed Lee leaving his sister Khazar’s apartment with him before the two stopped near the Bay Bridge, where Lee was fatally stabbed.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Bob Lee. DNA evidence linked both men to the weapon, and Momeni was convicted of second-degree murder in December 2024. However, questions surrounding the confrontation, the competing accounts of what happened, and the circumstances that led to Lee’s death continue to fuel debate, leaving the full truth behind the killing a mystery.
