    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    85: MURDER: Brittany Phillips
    Apr 21 2025
    On September 27, 2004, 18-year-old Brittany Phillips had what appeared to be a typical day in the life of a college student. She spent time with friends and called her mom later that night to catch up. But after that phone call, no one saw or heard from Brittany again.

    She didn’t show up for her classes, she didn’t check in with friends, and she didn’t return any of her mother’s calls. Days passed with no word, until September 30, when one of her friends called the police.

    When officers entered the apartment, they found Brittany on the floor next to her bed, with her head positioned toward the foot of the mattress. She had been strangled and possibly sexually assaulted. There were no obvious signs of forced entry, but detectives collected DNA from the scene, hoping that somewhere in that evidence was the identity of her killer.

    Now, more than twenty years later, that DNA has still not resulted in any arrests, leaving her family still seeking justice.

    18-year-old Brittany Phillips was last heard from at around 9:00 p.m. on the night of September 27, 2004, while speaking with her mother on the phone. She was supposed to attend an 8:00 a.m. class the following morning, but she never showed up.

    Days later, on the night of September 30, Brittany was found dead in her apartment on East 65th Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had been strangled and may have been sexually assaulted.

    Anyone with information about Brittany’s case is urged to contact the Tulsa Police Department’s Cold Case Unit by email at TPDColdCaseHomicide@cityoftulsa.org.

  • 84: MISSING: Kelly Dove

    84: MISSING: Kelly Dove
    Apr 18 2025
    On the night of June 17, 1982, 20-year-old Kelly Bergh Dove agreed to cover an overnight shift at the Imperial gas station in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She wasn’t supposed to be working, but one of her sisters asked if she could switch—and Kelly said yes.
    In the early morning hours of June 18, Kelly called 911 three times, reporting that a man had been harassing her and making obscene calls from the payphone outside. Her final words to the dispatcher were urgent and terrified: “Please hurry, he’s back.” When police arrived just one minute later, Kelly was gone.
    More than four decades have passed, and Kelly has never been found. Her family is still waiting for answers—and still holding on to hope that someone, somewhere, knows what happened to Kelly Bergh Dove?

    Kelly Bergh Dove was 20 years old when she went missing on June 18, 1982. She was last seen working the overnight shift at the Imperial gas station on South Main Street in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

    Kelly was 5’1” tall and weighed between 100 and 120 pounds. She had brown hair, brown eyes, and wore both contact lenses and glasses. She had a partial dental plate that replaced her two front teeth, a scar on the back of her head, one along her hairline, and another on her right wrist.

    At the time of her disappearance, Kelly was wearing a light-colored pinstriped sweater or top, along with tan or cream-colored slacks. She also wore her Turner Ashby High School class ring. The ring had the initials KJB engraved inside and may have had a peridot stone.

    The man believed to be responsible for her disappearance was described as a thin white male, between 20 and 25 years old, with shoulder-length blond hair and a light-colored shirt. He was seen driving a silver or gray vehicle, possibly a Ford.

    Those with information about Kelly’s case should contact Detective Wetherell at 540-432-7788. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Solvers at 540-574-5050. If you don’t have information, but are interested in helping Kelly’s family, please share this episode, along with Kelly’s flyer.

  • 83: MISSING: Oakley Carlson

    83: MISSING: Oakley Carlson
    Apr 11 2025
    On February 10, 2021, four-year-old Oakley Carlson was seen for the last time in Grays Harbor County, Washington. She wasn’t reported missing until ten months later, on December 6, when a school principal called in a welfare check. When police spoke to Oakley’s biological parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, they gave conflicting stories and couldn’t explain where she was.

    An investigation was immediately launched, and what followed was a series of disturbing revelations—allegations of abuse, drug exposure, and medical neglect, all at the hands of Oakley’s biological parents. And yet, despite multiple investigations and searches, Oakley has never been found. Now, more than four years later, the question remains—what happened to Oakley Carlson?

    Oakley Carlson was last verifiably seen on February 10, 2021. At the time, she was four years old. She stood three feet tall, weighed around 50 pounds, and had brown eyes and brown hair. Today, she would be eight years old.

    If you have any information about Oakley’s whereabouts, you’re asked to contact the Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office at 360-964-1729 or Crimestoppers at 800-222-8477. There is currently a $100,000 reward for information leading to her discovery.

    If you don’t have information, but still want to help, you can share Oakley’s story and her flyer, which you can find at justiceforoakley.wixsite.com/home. You can also join the Facebook group “Oakley Carlson – Oakville, Washington”, and sign her petition at Change.org/justiceforoakley.

  • 82: MURDER: Blair Adams

    82: MURDER: Blair Adams
    Mar 31 2025
    On July 11th, 1996, the half-naked body of Blair Adams, a 31-year-old Canadian citizen, was found in the parking lot of a construction site in Knoxville, Tennessee. He had been beaten to death and surrounding him were thousands of dollars in cash, gold, jewelry and travel documents.

    Detectives soon learned that in the days leading up to his murder, Blair had been acting strange. He told his friends that someone was trying to kill him, and he needed to get to the United States. Then, without warning, he left Canada, criss-crossing the U.S. border, switching vehicles, buying plane tickets, before finally ending up in Knoxville, a city where he didn't know anyone.

    Nearly 29 years later, investigators still don't know who killed Blair Adams, or why he was in Knoxville in the first place.

    Blaire Adams was last seen on surveillance footage at 7:37 p.m. on July 10th, 1996, walking out of the Fairfield Inn lobby in Knoxville, Tennessee, just off Strawberry Plains Pike. Early the next morning, his body was found in a parking lot of a nearby construction site, and he had been brutally beaten. Anyone with information in this case should contact the Knox County Sheriff's Office at (865) 215-2243.
