Ep 6. Drive Thru Murder

In Homicide Hunter season 2 episode 6, titled "Drive Thru Murder," viewers are taken through one of Lieutenant Joe Kenda's most unique cases. The episode begins with Kenda recalling the bizarre 1993 murder of 37-year-old mother of two, Donna Dixon, in Colorado Springs. Dixon had been waiting in her car at a drive-thru ATM when she was shot through her driver's side window by an unknown assailant.

As Kenda and his team begin to investigate the case, they quickly realize that there were no clear motives or suspects. Dixon was not involved in any criminal activity and had no known enemies or conflicts. The only potential clue was a witness who reported seeing a red car fleeing the scene. This lead Kenda to suspect that the murder could have been a random act of violence from a stranger looking for quick cash through a robbery.

Despite the lack of evidence, Kenda tirelessly pursued leads and interviewed witnesses, always keeping an open mind and looking for any detail that could help him crack the case. When a new witness came forward stating they had seen a blue Monte Carlo at the scene of the crime, Kenda's team began to shift their focus to this new suspect.

Kenda worked tirelessly to uncover more information about the car and eventually traced it to a local car dealership. The car had been purchased by a couple who were friends with the victim and had no connection to her murder. However, they did give Kenda a new lead in the form of a man who had been interested in buying the car but was ultimately refused due to his erratic behavior.

The man in question was eventually found and admitted to being in the area at the time of the murder, but denied any involvement. However, Kenda was able to piece together other evidence, including a witness who saw a man matching the suspect's description in the area, as well as a bullet found lodged in a nearby tree that matched the caliber used to kill Dixon.

Through Kenda's persistence and attention to detail, the suspect was ultimately arrested and charged with Dixon's murder. The episode ends with Kenda reflecting on the case and the importance of never giving up on seeking justice for victims.

Overall, "Drive Thru Murder" is a captivating episode that showcases Kenda's commitment to solving even the most complex and challenging crimes. Viewers are taken on a thrilling ride as Kenda and his team work tirelessly to uncover clues and ultimately bring closure to a senseless and tragic crime.
