In April 2004, 23-year-old Alonzo Brooks attended a party in La Cygne, Kansas, and never returned home. Despite extensive searches by law enforcement, his body was discovered by his family nearly a month later in an area police had already searched.

 

Years later, the case remains unsolved, with the FBI reopening the investigation and officially ruling his death a homicide. But even with a $100,000 reward, no one has been arrested.

 

Join us as we break down the inconsistencies, explore the potential cover-ups, and discuss why justice for Alonzo has been delayed for nearly two decades.
