Two Women. Two Holidays. Two Unsolved Murders: The Cases of Kristen Wilson & Terressa Vanegas

Send us Fan MailOn Halloween night in 2006, 16-year-old Terressa Vanegas left her Dickinson, Texas, home and never returned. Her body was found the following day, dumped behind a school—brutally murdered, her shoes missing, her future stolen. Despite multiple suspects and public pleas, her case remains unsolved.A decade earlier, in 1996, 29-year-old Kristen Lea Wilson was found dead on Thanksgiving Day in her Houston apartment. She’d been strangled with her belt. The scene suggested she knew her killer—but nearly 30 years later, the evidence still hasn’t led to justice.Both women were taken on days meant for celebration. Both failed because of a system that couldn’t bring answers. Both left behind families still waiting for the call that never comes.This episode examines the chilling parallels, the overlooked leads, and the heavy silence surrounding these holiday horrors: Two women, two holidays, zero justice. Is someone still out there walking free?Support Box in the Basement & Our Causes Leon Laurales: Website & GoFundMe Follow us on Facebook & Instagram Donate to Seasons of JusticeListen to Darkcast Network Shows Join Uncovered.com Donate to Project Cold Case
