  • 88: MURDER: Amber Berbiglia
    May 19 2025
    On May 3rd, 2013, 23-year-old Amber Berbiglia never showed up for work. She was always on time, so her coworkers immediately knew something was wrong. They texted and called but received no reply.

    Around the same time Amber’s coworkers were trying to reach her, two separate 911 calls came in. The first was from a caller who reported an abandoned vehicle. The second came from a group of kids who said they had seen a body near the same car.

    When detectives arrived, they found Amber dead. She had suffered severe trauma to her head, and at first, it was assumed she had been shot. But the autopsy told a different story—she had been beaten, and her arms showed signs that she had fought back.

    Now, more than a decade later, the person who did this to Amber still hasn’t been caught—and her family and friends are still fighting for answers.

    23-year-old Amber Berbiglia left her apartment on Golf Colony Lane in Little River, South Carolina, to run errands in the Myrtle Beach area. She first went to get a haircut in North Myrtle Beach before heading to Ross Dress for Less on Kings Road.

    After returning items, she was then spotted at the Murphy’s Gas Station on Kings Road at 2:00 p.m., before paying her cable bill roughly ten minutes later on Main Street, also known as Ocean Drive, in North Myrtle Beach.

    She was supposed to arrive at her job—Greg Norman’s Australian Grill—by 4:00 p.m., but she never made it. Instead, two 911 calls came in reporting her car abandoned on Old Sanders Road under Robert Edge Parkway.

    Amber’s body was discovered beaten, just feet from her car. Her cause of death was blunt force trauma with two skull fractures. There were no signs of robbery—her phone was within inches of her fingers, and her purse and cash were inside the car, untouched.

    Anyone with information is asked to call the Horry County Police Department at 843-915-8477.

  • 87: MISSING/MURDER: Evelyn and Alex Hernandez
    May 12 2025
    On the afternoon of May 1, 2002, 24-year-old Evelyn Hernandez picked up her five-year-old son, Alex, from school in San Francisco. She was nine months pregnant and just days away from giving birth to a baby boy she planned to name Fernando.

    That evening, she called her sister to talk about her upcoming baby shower. It was the last time anyone ever heard from her.

    A week later—on what would have been Evelyn’s due date—she and Alex were reported missing. Nearly three months later, Evelyn’s partial remains were found in the Bay. But Alex and baby Fernando were never found.

    More than two decades have passed. Evelyn’s murder remains unsolved. Her sons are still missing. And her family is still searching for answers.

    Evelyn Hernandez was 24 years old and nine months pregnant when she went missing on May 1, 2002. She was last seen at her apartment in San Francisco after spending the day running errands and picking up her five-year-old son, Alex, from school.

    Evelyn’s partial remains were later found in the Bay, but her unborn son, Fernando, and her son Alex have never been located. When five year old Alex went missing, he was four feet tall and 45 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

    Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the San Francisco Police Department Cold Case Unit at (415) 553-1450.

    May 5 2025
    **If you have been a victim of a crime, there may be help available to you. Check out the Office for Victims of Crime to see if you're eligible for their services.**

    On July 26, 1992, 22-year-old Brenda Gail Lambert hosted a birthday party at her home in Bluewell, West Virginia. It was her youngest child’s first birthday, and the house was filled with family—including Brenda’s estranged husband, Raymond.

    As the night wore on, tensions rose and guests began to leave. Hours later, Raymond showed up at Brenda’s sister’s door, visibly shaken, saying he couldn’t find Brenda.

    She was never seen or heard from again.

    More than three decades have passed, and Brenda has never been found. But her family is still searching—and they believe they know what happened to her, and where she might be.

    Brenda Gail Lambert was last seen on July 26, 1992, at her home off Route 7, also known as Windmill Hill Road, in Bluewell, West Virginia. She was 5’2” and weighed around 110 pounds. Brenda had shoulder-length black curly hair and dark blue eyes.

    If you have any information about Brenda’s disappearance, please contact the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office at (304) 487-8364.

I found Derrick through crime weekly. I will be a faithful follower of anything he or Stephanie does! I love how they make true crime with a purpose rather than just sensationalizing other people's tragedy.
