When 18 year-old Christina Carnes and her 20 year-old Vernon Cade went out on January 20, 1994 for a night of fun with friends, neither of them could possibly have known what would befall them just a few hours later.\xa0\xa0Arriving at a gathering in their hometown of Fairfield Ohio that night, they were paged by a friend who needed a ride, and left the party early so they could respond.\xa0\xa0Later that night, a call to authorities reported an apparently overheated car parked in a parking lot in front of what was then a children\u2019s day care center on Mack Road in Fairfield.\xa0\xa0When police arrived, they found a horror scene.\xa0 It was Christina Carnes\u2019 car \u2013 and Christina was slumped on the driver\u2019s side of the front seat - dead, shot in the back of the head by someone who had been in the back seat.\xa0 Vernon had been shot in the face \u2013 still alive.\xa0\xa0Vernon was rushed to the hospital and eventually saved.\xa0 He is still alive today, but with permanent brain injuries that to this day prevent him from remembering anything that happened that night.\xa0\xa0It\u2019s been 27 years since Christina\u2019s mother Gail buried her daughter \u2013 and no arrest has been made in this awful case.\xa0 Law enforcement insists that all leads have been followed \u2013 and all have led to dead ends.\xa0 And as you might expect, the police in Fairfield have issued statements begging for anyone to come forward with any new lead.\xa0\xa0Which is a little weird.\xa0 Because it appears the Fairfield Police Department doesn\u2019t seem to want to accept help all that much.\xa0\xa0In this episode, Melissa not only details the tragic details of Christina\u2019s murder, but her frustrations in getting the police to talk to the press or the large social media platform available to spread the word.\xa0\xa0Also included in this episode is an update on recent events in the Terry Brisk murder investigation previously covered in Episode 118 \u2013 a preview of an upcoming interview with Morrison County, MN Sheriff Shawn Larsen, coming up later this month.
