Lesbian Detectives

On this episode of Lesbian Detectives, Sierra and Elizabeth examine the 2004 unsolved murder of Lena Wheless in High Point — a brutal killing on Christmas Eve with no arrest and lingering questions about motive and evidence.
The hosts review the case details, discuss possible theories and suspects, and urge anyone with information to contact the authorities.

In May 1999, young parents Candice  Kyser and David Keller were found shot to death inside their home in Fort Mitchell, Alabama. Just hours earlier, they had spent Mother’s Day weekend with family before returning home with their toddler daughter.
By morning, both were gone.
Their child was still inside the home—alive.
More than two decades later, the case remains unsolved. No witnesses. No clear motive. And a family still searching for answers.

In this episode of Lesbian Detectives, Sierra and Elizabeth investigate the 1984 unsolved murder of Vanessa Renee Brown — a 23-year-old mother found brutally killed in an abandoned lot, with the words "Good Rape" carved into her back. They examine her life, last known movements, the cab driver she was set to testify against, and the decades of corruption in Philadelphia’s homicide unit that may have derailed justice.
Through timeline reconstruction, interviews, and theories, the hosts explore possible suspects and systemic failures, urging listeners to remember Vanessa as more than a headline and to share any tips that could bring justice closer.

On Valentine’s Day 1982 a teenage body was found along I‑40 in northern Arizona and given the placeholder name “Valentine Sally.” Witnesses recall her last being seen at a nearby truck stop with an older man in a black cowboy hat with a peacock feather; a half‑dissolved aspirin stuck in a tooth became one of the few lasting clues.
Decades later genetic genealogy uncovered her real identity as 17‑year‑old Carolyn Eaton, giving her family answers—but the person who killed her has never been identified. This episode follows her final days, the wrongful misidentification, and the unresolved search for justice.
