On the afternoon of February 23, 1987, Lorene Potter stopped by her daughter Jaye Potter Mintz's home in Leland, North Carolina. Inside, she found Jaye's 2-year-old son crying and 23-year-old Jaye brutally murdered in bed.

The crime scene was so horrific that local investigators immediately called in the State Bureau of Investigation.

But despite decades of investigation and DNA left behind by the killer, no suspect has ever been identified, leaving whoever murdered Jaye free nearly 40 years later...

Anyone with information is asked to call the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office at (910) 253-2777.

On the evening of May 30, 1988, 48-year-old Police Captain Michael O'Mara left home to run a few errands.

He never made it home.

That night, another officer found Mike dead in a grassy area outside the county courthouse. Within hours, investigators declared he had taken his own life.

But Mike's family and friends refused to believe it. They feared he had been murdered, possibly by another officer or by the mafia.

Despite those concerns, more than 38 years later, Mike's manner of death remains undetermined, and one question still remains: What really happened to Captain Michael O'Mara?

If you have information in this case, you can contact the Cook County Sheriff’s Police at 708-865-4700.

On the morning of April 15, 2004, 38-year-old Patrice Endres was working at her salon in Cumming, Georgia. Then, just before noon, she vanished.
