Halloween Night of Silence: The Unsolved Death of Nori Amaya

from Lesbian Detectives · host lesbiandetectives

On a crowded Halloween night, Nori "Mona" Amaya — a beloved salsa dancer and nightlife fixture — never made it home. Found dead in her Woodner apartment with no forced entry, clipped fingernails, and DNA from an unknown male, her death remains a chilling, unsolved mystery. Hosts Sierra and Elizabeth retrace Nori’s final hours, explore leads and theories (including suspicions surrounding the building staff and a security guard), and reflect on her life as they discuss the case that still haunts her family, friends, and investigators.

The author, who went by the pen name Rex Feral, offered very specific tips for the aspiring contract killer— where to find employment, how much to charge...and how to get away with murder. Ten years later, Tiffani Horn’s mother, 8-year-old brother, and a close family friend were found murdered. The exhaustive investigation involved multi-state surveillance and wiretaps, but it wasn’t until detectives stumbled upon Hit Man that they suddenly had what they called a blueprint for the murders.
