Murder, She Told

1990 - Springfield, Massachusetts.

On the morning after Christmas in 1990, a parks employee at Blunt Park in Springfield, MA, made a grim discovery: the body of 17-year-old Shana Renee Price. Initially, police suspected she had been shot, but an autopsy later revealed the brutal truth behind her death.

Shana was a young mother to a baby boy, living a vibrant life surrounded by her friends and family.

Her case received little public attention until 2022, when Springfield Police and the Hampden County DA released a phenotype composite sketch developed by Parabon Nanolabs. The sketch, created using DNA evidence found on Shana’s body, reignited hope that her tragic murder might finally be solved.

However, police still need the public’s help to bring her killer to justice.

If you have information on the murder of Shana Renee Price, please call or text her tip line at the Hampden County DA’s Office at (413) 432-9881.

Kim Morse: 25 Years Unsolved

1 Recommendations

2000 - North Providence, Rhode Island.

In the early hours of January 19, 2000, somebody was in the apartment of 32-year-old Kimberly Sue Morse, waiting in the dark for her to return home from work—somebody who knew she worked late nights. The assailant brutally murdered Kim in her own kitchen. Her body wasn't discovered until 15 hours later when firefighters responded to a fire at the apartment, unaware of the horror waiting inside.

But as the mystery unravels, the potential suspect list continues to grow, and one thing remains clear to police: Kimberly Morse likely knew the man who killed her.

Kimberly Morse was the life of the party. She loved to entertain and make people laugh and smile, and she had a wide circle of friends and family who adored her. A true extrovert, Kim could make friends with just about anyone. This makes it so much harder to accept what happened to her.

Kim had so many people who loved her. People who are still waiting for the day the man who stole Kim's life is in handcuffs. Four of them can be heard in this episode.

2025 marks 25 years unsolved. If you have any information about the murder of Kimberly Morse, please contact the North Providence Police Department at (401) 231-4533.
