- 251. “Fugitive” - The Case of Ivora “Ivory” Huntley - Oakland, California - [ Part 1 of 2]
A twice convicted murderer, an alias, and a fugitive on the run.
In 2002, Ivora “Ivory” Huntley was murdered in Oakland, California after stepping in to protect a friend from an abusive boyfriend. The man accused of killing her, DeMorris Hunter, disappeared.
Months later and nearly 3,000 miles away, another woman was murdered.
As investigators began piecing together the connections between the two cases, they uncovered a disturbing history of violence dating back nearly two decades — and discovered the man they were looking for was living under an alias.

A missing woman, a hotel card, and a fax number.
On January 29th, 1999, 45-year-old Diane Wolf vanished after a shift at Hanover Foods.
She was last captured on surveillance video making a $300 deposit at the drive through ATM at Allfirst Bank. Her 1994 teal Pontiac Grand Prix was later found at Weis Market.
As investigators re-examined the case a decade later, new clues surfaced. Perhaps Diane’s life was more complicated than anyone originally thought. Diane Wolf remains missing.
At the time of her disappearance, Diane was 45 years old, 5’6, 180 pounds with brown eyes. She had recently dyed her hair red. Diane wore glasses, has three earrings on each ear, and a purple rose tattoo on her left ankle.
Anyone with any information regarding the disappearance of Diane Wolf has been asked to contact PSP Gettysburg at 717-334-8111 or Adams County Crimestoppers who are offering a cash reward. Tips can also be submitted here.

In 2021 a patient named Arthur Knight was admitted to Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital in Glasgow, Scotland.
Healthcare workers noticed that his tattoos were strikingly similar to an American born man wanted for rape charges out of Utah. That man was Nicholas (Alahverdian) Rossi.
When the man in the hospital was awake and conscious, he claimed he was an Irish born orphan who had never set foot on American soil. He was being framed.
Authorities were convinced they had located fugitive Nicholas Rossi. What was the truth?

After the murder of Jacqeline Bonds in 1963, after receiving a life sentence, Harvey Marcelin was released on lifetime parole.
About a year after his release, a man walking in Central Park discovered a bag of dismembered remains.
The victim was later identified as 29-year-old Ana Laura Sierra. Marcelin plead guilty to manslaughter. But once again, he wouldn’t remain behind bars.

Due to a family emergency, I’m taking this week off. But Holly with Crime with Holly is here to fill in with the story of Carla Walker.
In 1974, 17-year-old Carla Jan Walker was abducted from a parking lot in Fort Worth, Texas after a night out with her boyfriend.
Her murder shocked the community and left investigators with more questions than answers. For decades, the case went cold… and suspicion lingered on the one person who witnessed it all. Her boyfriend Rodney McCoy.
Nearly 50 years later, a breakthrough in DNA technology would finally reveal the truth and bring long awaited justice.

A series of 911 calls, a green Camaro, and a missed opportunity.
In January of 2008, 21-year-old Denise Lee was abducted from her home in North Port, Florida.
As the crime unfolded a series of 911 calls were placed, one by Denise herself. Covertly she told the operator that she had been abducted from her home on Latour Avenue.
Another witness called to report a kidnapping in progress but a deputy was never dispatched. An error in communication likely cost Denise Lee her life.
