MURDERED: Kenia Monge
19-year-old Kenia Monge went missing in downtown Denver on April 1, 2011. When Kenia’s step dad finds an eerie text message from a stranger on her phone, it leads him and police right to her killer. However, without Kenia’s body and no clue where she might be the only thing they could do was wait for the man to strike again.

But while we were in the field, we uncovered a disturbing pattern of murders with similarities to Rhys’ that were just too blatant to ignore. So, we spent the next three years working with local and federal law enforcement to try and get to the bottom of it.
