foreign [Music] the website ohioattorneygeneral.gov contains many resources one resource on there that both saddens
00:00:33
me and angers me there's a list of Cold Case homicides all taking place in my home state the great state of Ohio
00:00:43
you can browse this list by searching a specific name or do as I have many times
00:00:49
start at the beginning and go in chronological order Through The Years many cases on there
00:00:57
have caught my eye several of them I've personally looked into hunting down old newspaper articles
00:01:05
sifting through online message boards looking for not only information but theories and suspects
00:01:14
after all this is my home state where my family and friends live and according to this list killers are
00:01:23
walking amongst us one of the cases that caught my eye was that of a young woman
00:01:31
killed at home alone in her apartment the case was initially of interest to me because I noticed
00:01:39
that I once lived in the neighborhood in which she was killed on the government website this is case
00:01:47
number 17. the victim's name Amy Hooper this was just one of many cases that for
00:01:56
me stopped being just a number on some list and became a name on a file folder however I am slightly ashamed to say
00:02:06
that the file ended up on a shelf in my office collecting dust later through conversations I learned of
00:02:16
an even closer connection I had to the unsolved murder case my mother and Amy's mother taught at the
00:02:24
same school and my father followed the case in the papers and on TV not too long ago I was busy cleaning out
00:02:35
the old office and sifting through some old Case Files some that we have covered here on True
00:02:41
Crime garage and others that we hope to I found Amy's folder flip through it and looked at her photo
00:02:51
the sadness and anger returned and so I decided to revisit this case Amy was only 20 years old when some
00:03:03
Savage took her life she was very close with her family and had many friends the motive for this cold-blooded killing
00:03:12
is not obvious and the killer remains hiding in the shadows this week we take a look at just one of
00:03:23
Ohio's many Cold Case homicides this is the case of Amy Hooper [Music] [Music] [Applause]
