135: MURDER: Dr. Geetha Angara

On February 8, 2005, 43-year-old Dr. Geetha Angara went to work at a water treatment facility in Totowa, New Jersey, where she worked as a senior chemist. She was last seen heading to the plant’s basement to complete a routine task. But Geetha was never seen again, and hours after her shift ended, her car was still in the employee lot and her coat was at her desk. No one could explain where she had gone. After an extensive search, her body was eventually found inside one of the facility’s massive water tanks. Investigators determined she had been assaulted and then drowned. More than 20 years later, no one has been charged, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible. If you have any information that could help solve Geetha’s case, you can call the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office at 1-877-370-PCPO or email tips@passaiccountynj.org [tips@passaiccountynj.org].

134: MISSING: April Pitzer

On June 27, 2004, 30 year old April Pitzer was last seen in Newberry Springs, California, after telling loved ones she was preparing to come back home to Arkansas. She had been terrified for her life and was desperate to return, but she never made it back. In the months that followed, investigators received a series of strange and unsettling tips, including one involving a message written on a truck stop bathroom wall hundreds of miles away that appeared to reference her disappearance. Investigators eventually determined April was likely murdered. But more than 20 years later, no one has been charged, and her family is still searching for answers, her remains, and the person responsible. If you have any information in April’s case, please call the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department at (909) 387-3690.

133: MURDER: The Fisher Family

On April 10, 2001, an explosion tore through a Scottsdale, Arizona home, sending flames into the air and shaking the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, investigators discovered a devastating scene. 38-year-old Mary Fisher and her two children, Brittney and Bobby, had been killed in their own beds, and the evidence showed they were murdered before the fire ever began. The scene had been carefully staged, with accelerants, a disconnected gas line, and ignition devices used in an attempt to destroy everything inside. But one person was missing - Mary’s husband, and the children’s father, Robert Fisher. More than 25 years later, Robert has never been found, and investigators are still working to find him. If you have any information in this case, or you think you’ve seen Robert, you should call the Phoenix FBI Field Office at (623) 466-1999 or go to tips.fbi.gov [http://tips.fbi.gov] [http://tips.fbi.gov]. A $100,000 reward is being offered.

132: MURDER: Oakey "Al" Kite Jr.

On May 24, 2004, co-workers of 53 year old Oakey Albert Kite Jr., who went by Al, drove to his house to check on him after he failed to show up to work - something he had never done before. Inside his Aurora, Colorado townhome, officers discovered a horrific scene. Al had been bound, tortured for hours, and killed in his own basement. The killer cleaned up, removed key evidence, and disappeared - leaving behind only a small amount of DNA and a trail that pointed to a man who wasn’t who he claimed to be. More than 20 years later, Al’s murder remains unsolved, and detectives are still working to identify the person responsible. Anyone with information in Al’s case is asked to call the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or your local FBI office. There is a $2,000 reward for information.
