She Was Murdered Halloween Night & Despite CCTV & DNA Her Case Is Unsolved: Who Killed Nori Amaya?

Episode 319,   Oct 17, 08:30 AM

Nori Amaya was born on September 9th, 1971, in El Salvador. Not much is known about her early life or even her parents' names. We know that her mother would remain a constant in her life, but it’s unclear if her father was involved in her childhood in El Salvador. Two years later, her younger brother Carlos was also born. What is known about Nori, was the bizarre and disturbing circumstances of her discovery by her own brother in a Washington DC apartment. More than a decade later, still very little is known about Nori's death and even less is known about the events that led to it, prompting the question; what happened to Nori Amaya, the Salsa Queen of Washington DC?
