A 16-year-old

girl

who lived in the same house as her parents and younger sisters had gone to sleep in her room and in the morning she was

found

dead. The police immediately realized that it was a murder, but none of her relatives heard nothing about it. The night it took 31

years

to finally solve the case but no one was prepared for this turn of events Fawn Cox was born on March 24, 1973 in Kansas City Missouri her appearance soon had two more daughters the family lived in a small two-

bedroom

house flats located in a difficult residential neighborhood from an early age she helped her parents take care of the younger children she went to church regularly and enjoyed swimming when she turned 16 Fawn got a part-time job at a local amusement park her family lived Quite poor and the

girl

s were looking to earn at least some money in their free time from school spent most of the summer holidays of 1989 at work, mainly the girls were behind the cash register and sold tickets for attractions the Wednesday, July 26, he finished his shift around 10 p.m.

Her mother and her younger sister picked her up in the car, since it would have taken a long time to get from the park to her house by public transportation almost immediately after returning home. Fawn went to bed since she had to go back to work the next morning. The girl slept on the second floor, she had her own room, her sisters usually slept in the room next door, but that night she was alone on the floor, her sister Amber, who was

only

a year younger, was babysitting for a family familiar that night, the other sister Felicia decided. sleep on the first floor because it was much cooler, it was a very hot night and the

only

air conditioning that worked was downstairs and his parents also slept on the first floor the next morning, around nine, the whole family woke up with Sound.

The alarm clock rang in Fawn's room but the girl didn't turn it off for some reason, so her younger sister and her mother went up to her room where a horrible sight awaited them. Fawn lay lifeless in bed, her neck visibly bruised. The girl also had no pulse and her parents immediately called an ambulance but they could no longer help her. It was evident that Fawn had died hours before. After examining her body, medical experts determined that strangulation was the cause of death and the girl had passed away. They were also abused from the first hours, the police realized that they had a very difficult investigation ahead of them, even though Fawn was murdered right in her room in a small house with very poor soundproofing, her parents and sister heard absolutely nothing, however. there was an explanation.

The air conditioner on the first floor was old and made a lot of noise, blocking out any other noise in the house. The only strange thing that night was that Fawn's sister noticed that her poodle was acting anxious and barking, but she didn't pay much attention to it. This behavior was attributed to the fact that the dog was pregnant; after examining the scene, police made several important discoveries. Their theory was that the attacker or group had entered the house through a second-story window that looked out onto the backyard. There was an old trailer parked near the house that could easily be used to climb to the canopy of the outbuilding, which was almost at the level of the window.

The window itself had been left open because there was no air conditioning on the second floor and the heat had to be beat somehow in Fawn's room, experts discovered. the first important clues some short hairs small blood stains and traces of semen on the sheet of his bed all of this was sent to the laboratory for analysis in addition several items were missing from the house including radios a Nintendo game console and a stereo recorder As shown They

found

several other items on the ground in front of the house, it looked as if the thief had thrown them out the window to take them, but left them there for some reason.

Detectives also discovered that several items had been removed from a closet. In an adjoining room on the second floor they believed that the perpetrator was hiding in that closet while they were waiting for

everyone

in the house to go to sleep normally. Fawn's sister slept in that room but not that night, for this reason no one noticed. the objects on display. The police discovered another strange clue: an old military cap was found in Fawn's room. All of his relatives said they had never seen the girl wearing it, so detectives assumed the killer might have left the cap behind at the scene despite an impressive array of evidence that police couldn't. quickly identify suspects the problem is that in 1989 forensic DNA analysis was quite underdeveloped and there were no common genetic databases at that time Detective Benjamin Caldwell, who handled the case, presented the main version of what happened, in In their opinion, there could have been several aggressors and they must have known the house well.

Not only did they know how to get to the second floor through the backyard in total darkness, but they also must have known the layout of the rooms. The next step for the police was to search. Witnesses interviewed neighbors friends and family of Fawn but all were inconclusive the detectives had a major problem before them the neighborhood in which the house was located was very poor and criminal several criminal gangs broke up there and their participants were quite difficult to bring to justice justice a month after fawn's murder the case finally took off the police had a witness who pointed out three suspects this witness knew a number of important details that the police never divulged so his story was taken seriously the suspects were three teenagers one of whom was in the same class as Fawn, were arrested and questioned, but the children denied any involvement in the murder.

During a search of one of their homes, police found items stolen from the victim's

bedroom

. This was enough to charge all three of them with murder, but even here the detectives were disappointed. first, the witness suddenly recanted and stopped cooperating with the police; second, DNA analysis of blood, hair, and semen found at the crime scene did not show an unambiguous match to the suspect's samples; In those

years

, experts could not yet establish an exact match of the samples and all their tests showed questionable results; In other words, the analysis could confirm neither a complete match nor a guaranteed mismatch.

Despite this, the police were able to obtain useful information from one of the detainees during one of the interrogations, he confessed that he had indeed broken into Fawn's house. house that night and the company of other boys and stole some things he painted how he got to the second floor through the canopy canopy and even revealed unknown details according to him when he threw a recorder out of the window the handle fell off The boy hid it under a nearby bush and the police found the item in that same location, except the young man quickly recanted his statement and no longer cooperated with the investigation, which would have prevented his confession from being used in court because of this.

The police had to let the men go and the investigation was paralyzed again. Most likely, the Witnesses were simply intimidated, but without their testimony in court the case had almost no chance. All we know is that one of them spent eight months in jail for stealing. items from Fawn's house, the case has since been left in a long drawer, the police did not reopen the investigation until the early 2000s and the first thing they did was upload DNA samples from the crime scene to the database CODIS that had been created several years before. and contained DNA samples from people tried for serious crimes, unfortunately no matches were found with Fawn's killer.

The appearance of this database was the result of important scientific advances in the study of DNA. It also allowed police to collect DNA samples from the three original suspects and this time they conducted more advanced testing and experts unequivocally determined that the hair, semen and blood did not belong to any of them. This was quite strange given that the suspects were found in possession of Fawn's belongings. Detectives speculated that the three guys had indeed burglarized his house. at night but there was another man with them, he was the one who had abused and killed the girl.

All of this raised even more questions. Could it be that four criminals entered the house without being seen, killed Fawn and equally unnoticed, left the scene of the crime? The police still had no answer to this question since then the case has stalled once again with each passing year the Fawn family believed less and less that the murder would ever be solved they continued to believe that those three suspects had been in their home that night and I could point out the murderer but I would never do it. The only thing that could help them uncover the

truth

was a DNA sample stored in the police laboratory in 2018.

Something interesting happened. Amber Fawn's younger sister revealed some disturbing details about the crime she put her mind to. facts unknown to the police in a popular American forum about unsolved crimes during its 20 years of existence. The forum had earned a very trustworthy reputation and its participants have helped the police in several high-profile cases. Amber has been verified and confirmed that she really is who she says she is so her post is worthy of attention. She herself worked as a babysitter from Monday to Friday and was only home during the day on weekends. The girl slept in the same room as the second floor where the thieves had broken in.

Consequently, the criminals would have been discovered immediately, they would have also watched the house and waited until Fawn's mother and her younger sister were going to pick up the girl from work. Despite all this, Amber's story did not bring the case closer to a solution. but it was already 2018 and the science of DNA research had come a long way. Dozens, if not hundreds, of long-forgotten cases were being solved thanks to new analysis tools. Fawn's relatives saw it all and resented why the police were in no hurry to reopen the murder. During the investigation, they continued to talk to detectives about the case and each time got the same answer.

Extended DNA testing requires money and the police have dozens of cases, for that reason the relatives had to wait their turn and receive funds, but they decided to take the initiative and launch a fundraiser in 2019, the family wanted to cover the full cost of the DNA samples and also offered a reward of ten thousand dollars for any information leading to the capture of the perpetrators due to the extensive media coverage of the case and numerous In interviews given by the family, many interested people responded to the requests of help. The family quickly raised the necessary amount of money, but even here they were disappointed.

The police department refused to launch this investigation at the expense of the victim's family, the lead detective explained. that surely there would be a big problem in such a situation if the relatives of a victim could pay for those tests and expedite the results, then hundreds of other families who have been searching for years for the murder of their loved ones should have the same true, but it is simply impossible to implement such a thing in practice, since only a few laboratories in the world carry out innovative DNA tests and with such a simultaneous influx of those who want to do it, their resources are simply not enough, the leading company in this field is Parabon Nano Labs, which we have already mentioned repeatedly in other reels, have made enormous progress in the study of DNA - from finding a person's relatives from the smallest genetic samples to creating an approximate portrait of the owner of the DNA.

It was this laboratory that took over the study of the samples left in Fawn's bedroom the night she was murdered, the girl's relatives believed that the police were in no hurry to continue with the case for another reason, they were a family poor man from a bad neighborhood and murder was not a priority. For the investigators there, in an interview, Sister Fawn said that if it had been a murder of a family of rich or high-ranking people, all the necessary investigations would have been done instantly. Unfortunately, they never managed to speed up the process and it was not until late.

In 2020 it happened. the long-awaited breakthrough, but the family was not prepared for that kind of

truth

. With funds from the FBI, the police sent samples from Fawn's room to a laboratory, there they began a detailed DNA examination and a search for possible relatives of its possessors was the semen sample found at the crime scene with which they mainly worked. in November 2020 they can finallyfinding the person to whom that DNA belonged turned out to be Fawn's cousin Donald Cox of course such news shocked the entire family at the time of Fawn's death Donald was 21 years old and no one had even considered his possible involvement they said that Donald was quite a troubled man and was constantly behind bars he was tried for minor crimes such as theft and possession of illegal substances unfortunately in those years they still did not take a DNA sample from such criminals, otherwise this case would have been solved much sooner Donald He died of an overdose in 2006 but the police investigated his death because certain circumstances seemed suspicious to them.

It was because of that investigation that a sample of his DNA was preserved, but it was not entered into the FBI database because the man at that time case was a victim, not a perpetrator. Once the experts informed the police of their discovery, compared the sample with the semen found at the crime scene and obtained a match of 100 despite the seriousness of this discovery, the relatives received an answer to a question that they That night at the Fawn house it was becoming clear how the perpetrators knew the house and the family routines so precisely that Donald was a frequent visitor and knew all of these nuances.

However, police closed the case and no new charges were filed against the three men. Fawn said that she saw no point in trying to extract a confession from them even though the men had been present at the house at night, they may not have even witnessed the murder. It is possible that Donald was left alone in the house and only then attacked Fawn. Felicia added that the three suspects had already paid for their act during all this time while the case remained unsolved, the entire neighborhood was 100 percent sure of their guilt because of this they were treated very negatively with all the consequences that would follow according to the sister Fawn's lives were effectively ruined plus after the case was closed it turned out that the police originally found out about the suspects from the family of one of them.

Family members noticed a Nintendo decoder among his belongings and remembered that this was the one that had been stolen. Fawn's house was on the news and

everyone

in the neighborhood already knew the details, either way it is simply impossible to prove her guilt and the victim's relatives finally know the name of the Killer she lived with for 17 years without any punishment for what he had done all that time as if nothing had happened he contacted his family but eventually his addiction to illegal substances took him to the grave and he was no longer a threat to anyone share your opinion about this story in the comments and no forget to like the video if you like it thanks for watching
