On Halloween night in 2009, 38-year-old D.C. restaurateur and salsa queen Nori Amaya went out dancing, came home alone, and was found strangled in her bed two days later.

Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers. And I'm Brit. And the story I have for you today about the 2009 murder of a Washington, D.C. salsa queen is one that haunts me.
At first, investigators thought this might be an easy case to close. They have surveillance footage, a clear recounting of the victim's final steps. But there is one huge problem.
