Murder of Xiong Zhang

On July 19, 2007, two plain-clothed police officers found an injured man on the path between River Roding and Herford Rd in Barking, England. The victim was 33-year-old Xiong Zhang and he was taken to the hospital with a brain injury. He would later die on July 27, 2007. 

Xiong was an illegal immigrant from China and was selling counterfeit DVDs in the area. This is likely why he was targeted. A CCTV camera caught a black youth on a bicycle on the path, and then the youth left with a white bag suspected to be the missing DVDs. Police are searching for information on the youth and what information they may have on the murder.

Sharon Gallegos "Little Miss Nobody"

On July 21, 1960, 4-year-old Sharon Gallegos was with her cousins in the alley behind her home in Alamogordo, New Mexico. An old dark green 1950s Sedan  was pulled up to them. The woman who was described as obese with dirty blonde hair would ask Sharon to come with them so that they would "buy her candy and clothes". Sharon would refuse them and this angered the woman grabbing Sharon by the arm and dragged her to the car. They would take off quickly and be last seen turning west onto Fifth Street at high speed.

Police were notified and started working fast to find the girl. There was a search and roadblocks at the New Mexico-Texas border. Many cars were searched, but Sharron was never found.

Reportedly the woman had been harassing Sharon the following days to maybe weeks before her disappearance. On July 17th, the same woman was seen in her dark green sedan with two children inside a freckled-faced boy and a small girl. After church, she approached other attendees about Sharon and her mother.  On the 19th the woman knocked on the neighbor's doors and would ask the same questions giving the reason as she wanted to give the mother a job. 

Days prior to her disappearance Sharon's attitude changed. The girl who loved to do errands to the grocery store didn't want to do them anymore. She was more wary and skittish. When she would see the green sedan she would ask family members to pick her up if they were to walk past it. 

On July 31, 1960, the body of a young girl was found in a shallow grave in Congress, Arizona 7 hours away. She was partially buried in a creekbed of a sand wash on Alamo Rd. 1.5 miles away from Highway 93. It was estimated she died 1 to 2 weeks earlier likely around the time she was kidnapped. Her cause of death is unknown, but it's believed to be murder. There was a bloody pocket knife nearby and evidence of burning.

At the time she was termed "Little Miss Nobody" as she was unidentified. Sharon was considered as a possible match in the beginning, but they believed the "jane doe" was older than her and so she was excluded. It wasn't until March of 2022 that Sharon was given back her name. 

At the time of her death, she was wearing a sun suit consisting of white shorts and a contrasting blouse with a distinctive chain design or checkered design, and a pair of men's adult-size flip-flops that had been cut down to the victim's size. She was last seen wearing pink shorts and white shoes.

The suspects of the case were driving a 1951 or 1952 Dodge or Plymouth Sedan. The woman was short, overweight, blonde, wore glasses, and was in her 30's. The man was white, thin, with a long nose and straight, sandy-colored hair.

The Lovers of Modena

In 2009 archeologists found a pair of skeletons in present-day Modena, Italy. The skeletons were buried with their hands interlocked. It's believed that two had died between the 4th and 6th century CE. It's believed the area they were found may have been a war cemetery.

It was an unusual grave as at the time people were not typically buried holding hands. It is not unheard of though as there were many other similar burials that went against the norm throughout history. Initially, because of the pose, it was believed that it was a man and a woman in the grave, but later testings on the enamel peptides by the University of Bologna proved it wrong. Both people in the grave were middle-aged men. It's unknown what the relationship was between the two. It's possible instead of lovers, they could have been, siblings, cousins, or close friends. All is known is that they would not have been buried this way without some sort of close relationship.

On July 1, 2018, 23-year-old Nickeish Holloman was last seen leaving the Crossroads Center on Burnet Ave in Cinncinatti, Ohio. She got into a white or silver or grey Hyundai Sonota and was supposed to go to a hair appointment she never arrived at. Just before her disappearance, she talked to her mother on the phone giving her her new number. She would not be seen alive after this.

On August 22nd someone would see a bone sticking out of some mulch in the 1800 block of Mehmert Avenue in Mount Airy. It was found to be Nickeisha.

Police are looking for the occupants of the Hyundai Sonata she was last seen getting into. With the amount of mulch found on top of her body police hope that someone who saw a person who drove this vehicle and purchased that much mulch around that time would lead to their suspects. They have not ruled out that the vehicle may have been rented.
