The Permon Gilbert cold case
Hamersville, Ohio is a small blip on any Ohio map. A 2010 census reported that the town had just over 500 residents. True crime programs often feature unsolved homicides from large cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles or even Atlanta. In fact, you are unlikely to see the Discovery Channel or Nancy Grace cover anything out of Hamersville. Despite the town's small size, they have an unsolved murder from forty years ago. If someone was murdered in such a small town, you might think it would have been solved. Besides, how many possible suspects could there be?

The Missing Harlem Boys
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Poster for Christopher Dansby Christopher “Choo Choo” Dansby It was a shock to the community when the missing became two small boys. In 1989, Harlem, New York was a close-knit community where a lot of people lived. The Martin Luther King Towers is a public housing community with ten buildings, 14 floors and each floor has multiple apartments. 26-year-old Allison Dansby lived in the same building with her mom, siblings, and cousins. She has two sons, a three-year-old, and Christopher was two years old. Christopher was affectionately called Choo Choo and loved to cuddle. He was very attached to his mom and he did not go with just anybody. If a stranger approached him, he would cry. Choo Choo loved to be outside in the community park playing on the slide. This park is where two Harlem boys became “the missing”.
