Jessica Zernicke Holmes left work on the night of September 24, 2015 to find her phone flooded with missed calls and messages. When she was finally able to call her family member back, they delivered shocking news about her father.\xa058-year old Kenneth Zernicke was found dead inside his burning home in Caribou, Maine. Two days later, his death was ruled a homicide.\xa0Jess reached out to me because after nearly 7 years her father\u2019s case remains unsolved with little public information available, even to family members. She wrote in her email, \u201cI understand it makes it hard to cover a case with little to no information, but I am hoping to get this out there as much, and as often as possible. I miss my dad.\u201dThat is why I started this show. No matter the amount of public information on a case, these stories need and deserve attention.
