• 79: MURDER: Michael Tardio & Christopher Monson

  On the night of September 1, 2002, 35-year-old Michael Tardio and 31-year-old Christopher Monson drove to a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, preparing to finalize a deal that could change their lives. They were meeting a man known only as Mr. Big to sell $1 million worth of jewelry, which had once belonged to Michael’s girlfriend, Playboy Bunny Sandy Bentley. Hours later, a Mercedes SUV was found engulfed in flames in an upscale Studio City neighborhood. Inside, Michael and Chris were both dead—each shot multiple times in the chest. The jewelry was gone, and the fire had erased all forensic evidence. Despite years of investigation, the case remains unsolved, leaving investigators asking: Who was Mr. Big? And what really happened the night Michael and Chris were killed? 35-year-old Michael Tardio and 31-year-old Christopher Monson were last seen on the night of September 1, 2002, driving to a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

• 77: MISSING: Baby Ember Graham

  Find Baby Ember on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FindBabyEmber/ On July 1, 2015, six-month-old Ember Graham was staying with her father, Matthew, in Shasta County, California. According to Matthew, he fell asleep around 10:30 PM, just feet away from his daughter. When he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone. He called 911, and a large-scale search began. A few days later, Ember’s pacifier was found miles away from her home—but there was no other sign of her anywhere. For the last nine years, law enforcement and Ember’s family have never stopped searching. But she is still missing, leaving everyone asking the same question—where is Baby Ember? Six-month-old Ember Skye Graham went with her father, Matthew Graham, for an overnight visit on July 1, 2015. That afternoon, he made a stop at the Happy Stop store in Anderson, California. But after leaving the store, there was an unaccounted-for hour. Matthew and his cousin, Sara, later told authorities that he brought Ember home that evening and put her to bed. He claimed he fell asleep just a few feet away from her around 10:30 PM. But when he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone.  Authorities quickly named Matthew a person of interest. Eight days after Ember was reported missing, her pacifier was found miles from his home. The next day, Matthew went on the run. His manhunt ended on July 13 in a fatal shootout. Detectives believe Matthew confided in someone about what happened to Ember and where she is. They are still searching for answers. If you have any information about Ember’s whereabouts, contact Shasta County Secret Witness at 530-243-2319 or the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office at 530-245-6540. A $10,000 reward is being offered.

• 76: MURDER: Kanika Powell

  On the morning of August 28, 2008, Kanika Powell, a 28-year-old laboratory employee with top-secret security clearance, left her apartment in Laurel, Maryland, to run errands. She had spent the past five days on edge after three different men—one posing as an FBI agent and two claiming to be delivery drivers—knocked on her door, each asking for her by name. She refused to let any of them in. Just before noon on the 28th, Kanika returned home. Moments later, she was ambushed outside her apartment and shot multiple times. Despite years of investigation, her killer has never been identified, leaving many unanswered questions. Was Kanika targeted because of her top-secret security clearance? Or was there something even more sinister at play? 28-year-old veteran Kanika Powell received three mysterious knocks at her door, starting on August 23, 2008. The first man claimed to be an FBI agent. The other two—one on the evening of August 27 and another on the morning of August 28—said they were there to deliver packages. Each man knew Kanika’s name, but she refused to let any of them in. After the final knock, Kanika left home to run errands. She returned around 11:50 a.m. and was gunned down in the hallway of her apartment at the Deerfield Run Apartments in Laurel, Maryland. The killer and murder weapon have never been found.  Anyone with information is asked to call Prince George’s County Police Department at 301-352-1200 or Prince George’s County Crime Solvers Hotline at 1-866-411-8477.  Editor: Shannon Keirce Research/Writing: Polly Kotowski SUBMIT A CASE HERE: [email protected] SOCIAL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detperspective/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/detperspective FIND DERRICK HERE Twitter: https://twitter.com/DerrickL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DerrickLevasseur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerrickVLevasseur CRIME WEEKLY AND COFFEE Criminal Coffee Company: https://www.CriminalCoffeeCo.com Crime Weekly:  https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shop ADS: 1.
