About this listen
The appliance screamed into the void for nearly two days, masking the silence of a double homicide in a busy apartment complex. Just twenty-four hours earlier, Nizira had called 911 to report a crime, unknowingly setting the clock on her own life. When she dialed 911 a second time, it was only to record the sound of the gunshots.
In this episode, we explore a pair of gloves that don't match the primary suspect's DNA, a bag of rotting groceries left in a hallway, and a text message threat sent under a fake candy brand name. How can a killer leave so much physical evidence yet remain scientifically invisible? The answer might lie in a pair of shoes sold only in 2015.
Case Details
- Victim: Destiny Jackson, 20, student; Nizira Muhammad, 19, student.
- Date: November 3, 2022.
- Location: Hobart, Indiana, USA.
- Case Status: Active investigation with person of interest identified but no murder charges filed due to DNA mismatch.
Episode Key Points:
- - A hairdryer ran continuously for 34 hours next to the bodies, acting as a macabre white noise machine that masked the crime.
- - Nizira called 911 exactly 24 hours before her death to report a theft, which police believe triggered the retaliation.
- - The killer entered through a second-story balcony sliding door that had been left slightly open for fresh air.
- - DNA found inside the gloves left at the scene does not match the man who sent the death threats.
