Join the Crime Wire Team as we welcome Kelly Osborn, (Sheena’s Mother) and Guest Host, Statement Analyst Peter Hyatt, to dig into some of the facts surrounding the investigation, or lack thereof, of the unsolved death of Sheena Morris, a beautiful 22-year-old.

Dr. Michael Berkland, a Forensic Pathologist who, along with Dr. Michael Baden, re-examined the medical examiner’s reports and both agreed that Sheena’s death was not a suicide.  The family has since been able to have the manner of death changed to “undetermined” on Sheena’s Death Certificate.  The authorities in Bradenton Beach, FL are not willing to re-open the investigation, even in light of these findings.

On January 1, 2009, Sheena Morris was murdered in her hotel room, yet authorities quickly labeled it a suicide.  She was hanging by her neck in the shower by one of her Yorkies’ dog leash.  The crime scene was most fascinating as were the circumstances surrounding her ‘sudden’ suicide.

Sheena placed a call to 911 the night before reporting domestic violence by her dangerous boyfriend.  She even took pictures of her injuries,  a cut on her neck, and one on her ring finger.

The people in the next room called 911 the night before her murder to report the domestic disturbance and sound of violence next door.

Sheena Morris had obtained damaging evidence on alleged illegal activities. Shortly before she died, the keys to her apartment were taken and she was physically attacked. You would think that the 911 call she made to police would have an impact on the investigation, or the other facts of significance in her death that are just now surfacing, but they do not. Not even the 4 banker boxes full of files, copies of ledgers, key names and dates and other information seen carried from the out of the apartment, according to witnesses, by the last person to see Sheena Morris alive.

Instead, her death was incorrectly ruled a suicide by  Bradenton Beach police department. The County Sheriff’s office, who have more experience in death investigations of intimate partner homicides, should have been called in to handle this case, and because of the association to organized crime, but for some reason this case has remained untouchable by investigating authorities.

The family of Sheena Morris are not giving up the fight for truth and justice.  They are petitioning the Governor of Florida to re-open the investigation with the new evidence.

If you’re living in an abusive hell with a person who is emotionally and physically violent, this is a show you will want to make a point to listen.

BEFORE you announce to your abuser that it’s over, you are leaving, or you are filing for divorce, there are specific steps you must take to manage your safety. If you do not take precautions, you could end up on a missing persons report or worse yet, your name engraved on a cold cemetery headstone.

Joining the show for the hour are two women who are alive today because they planned ahead for safety from their abuse, Barbara Fiorucciand Tracey Murphy will discuss and share the importance of surviving violence in the relationship and by using the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit each of them is out of the abuse and into making plans for the future.

By listening to this show you will hear about, not only the violent relationships of these two brave women, but, how each of them did the work twice! Yes, that’s right, they each started doing the exercises included in the Time’s Up book by show co-host, Susan Murphy-Milano, but each of them stopped, went back into the relationship and learned the hard way that some things just do not change. Starting from step one, each of them then completed everything lined out in the book and escaped unharmed.

You will learn about the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit and Document the Abuse.Com and how you can become certified to assist victims to use the tools they need. Please visit the site for the information.

Each week Crime Wire Co-hosts, Dennis Griffin and Susan Murphy-Milano, bring listeners information, experts and cases to examine.  Tune in each week for something new and different!

Double Unsolved Homicide of Kenneth Kanehl and Pamela 

Barnes

Seven years after the 2005 murders of Kenneth Kanehl and Pamela Barnes, there have been no arrests or charges, and although much speculation and suspicion, naming of the main suspects will be a shock.

The pattern of conduct of persons close to the deceased has raised many questions by the families and those left behind in this awful tragedy.  Why have investigators let this slide?

Overview from guest, Jessie Kanehl, stepmother of Kenneth Kanehl:

On July 3, 2005, Kenneth Kanehl, 39 and Pamela Barnes, 41 were murdered in their home on the 5400 block of Brunswick, Waterford, MI.  Their bodies were discovered on Wednesday, July 6, 2005.  They were both shot in the head multiple times.  Kenny was off on vacation that week so his absence at work did not concern anyone.  On either Tuesday or Wednesday, Pam’s boss called her mother to notify her that Pamela did not show up for work on Tuesday.   Monday was the 4th of July Holiday.  Kenny and Pam were last seen at a friend’s house where they went for a 4th of July party and then to fireworks late Saturday night.  They were killed in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 3rd.  Pamela’s mom, Carolyn Barnes, called the Waterford Police Department on Wednesday, July 6th to do a welfare check at their home.  The police arrived there at approximately 5 p.m. and found their bodies.

Kenny and Pamela each had teenage daughters from previous relationships. One lived at the home, the other visited often. One has been affected seriously over the tragedy, the other has moved on and doing well.  What are the circumstances that connect a daughter and her father to the murders?

Tune in for details as this double unsolved murder is discussed by the Crime Wire Team.

The Sandra White case

On April 10, 2006, 65-year-old Sandra White ofWeaverville,North Carolinawas murdered by her 73-year-old husband Ray. He staged the house to make it appear that the death was the result of a robbery gone bad. He went so far as to drive down the highway and throw Sandra’s purse out as a robber may have done. However, after several days of questioning by the police, Ray White confessed to the murder. He was subsequently charged with involuntary manslaughter and posted $100,000 bail.

And then things turned a bit weird. The judge released White to the custody of his brother, David White, inFlorida. Sandra’s family believes that today Ray is living inSt. Petersburgand enjoying life as a free man. The now 78-year-old has yet to stand trial in aNorth Carolinacourt. The family’s efforts to get answers fromNorth Carolinaauthorities have met with non-responses, inaccurate information and stonewalling.

Joining us to discuss the case will be Gene Cervantes of Citizens Against Homicide and Sandra’s niece, Tamara Cramer

The Murder of Joseph DiMare

Over five decades, the murder of wealthy produce merchant Joseph DiMare — shot in the head in his white Cadillac in North Miami on March 24th 1961 — has faded into obscurity amid South Florida’s rich crime lore.

But one man won’t let it go. To Richard DiMare, the victim’s 69-year-old son, the murder probe is a cause championed only by him. For the better part of the past three decades, he has flooded police, prosecutors and politicians with angry letters demanding justice.

On the night of March 24, 1961, Frances DiMare, hysterical and barefoot, stumbled into a gas station at2350 NE 123rd StreetinNorth Miami,Florida.

About 150 yards away, in a vacant lot, the body of her husband, wealthy produce merchant Joseph DiMare, was slumped in the driver’s seat of his white 1961 Cadillac. He had been shot four times, including once through the mouth, with a .25 caliber pistol.

Francestold the police the couple has just left their Keystone Point home when two gunmen jumped into their car as they idled at the red light atNorth Bayshore DriveandNortheast 123th Street. The attackers ordered the couple to drive to the vacant lot next to the Broad Causeway, where they pistol-whipped them. She said she passed out and that when she came to, her 52-year-old husband was dead. No one has ever been charged with the murder.

Over the five decades since the murder the case has faded into obscurity, except for one person. Richard DiMare, Joseph’s son, has been unwavering in his quest to get justice for his father, sometimes becoming an annoyance to local law enforcement.

Richard DiMare and his sister Linda will join us to talk about the case.

Missing Joseph Helt

On January 16, 1987, 17-year-old Joseph Helt, of Ellenville,New York, was with friends at the old Mount Cathalia Ski Lodge in Cragsmoor, New York, a popular local party spot. At approximately 3:30 a.m. Joe left in a car with three acquaintances, Kelly Diaz, Wade Marks and John “JP” Laforge. According to these three, their car got stuck in a ditch on Sam'sPoint Road. Joe got frustrated and left to walk back to Ellenville. Kelly and Wade left about 20 minutes later, walking the same way Joe did. John left 10 minutes after that and walked the short distance back to his home in Cragsmoor. Kelly, Wade and John all made it home safely. But Joe was never seen again.

Now, over 24 years later, Joe’s family is still trying to piece together what happened to him that January night. Those efforts are meeting resistance, however. Authorities refuse to release police reports and other documents that are crucial to conducting an independent investigation.

With us to discuss the status will be Joe’s aunt, Beth Churchill, and family friend Gina Schuster.

You can hear Crime Wire Investigates beginning at 9 p.m. Eastern.
