"He had started a fight with Ali, but I was gonna finish it"

On June 18th 2002, in a small Kansas town, 19-year-old lifeguard Ali Kemp was found strangled to death in the pump room of the local pool. Police immediately launch an investigation, even interviewing prime suspects, but ultimately no arrests are made, and the case goes cold in the ensuing months. What police don’t know is that one of their released suspects hides a disturbing secret that’s key to unraveling what happened to Ali, and that her dad, Roger, will not rest until his daughter’s killer is found & brought to justice. Ali’s dad, Roger, started The Ali Kemp Educational foundation to teach self-defense courses, T.A.K.E. Defense, to women and girls in honor of his daughter.

"We are watching you"--

October 2012: a video goes viral on Youtube in which a girl uses flash cards to tell her story — it is the last time she is seen by the world and millions of people since then will forever know her name: Amanda Todd. It will take a mother’s courage and determination to dive into the dark web to finally unveil her daughter's real killer, and to ensure justice for all the others.

A current fundraiser auction to honor the 12th year anniversary of Amanda’s passing is ongoing from Oct. 1st-14th, 2024, to support funds for mental health awareness, cyberbullying, & exploitation, among others. The goal is $15,000, and reflecting on #JusticeforAmanda.

Auction: (https://www.amandatoddlegacy.org/legacy-auction-2024.html)

#LightUpPurple is a global awareness campaign in honor of Amanda on October 10th, World Mental Health Day. Please see (http://www.lightuppurple.com/ ) for more, and wear purple on October 10th.

"I hope you don’t sleep at night. I hope you have dreams of us coming after you."--

It's 1978, and Ron Jenkins, a detective with the Huntington police department, suddenly straightens up on his couch at home, unable to look away from the TV. The popular "Dating Game" is on, where a young bachelorette is blind dating 3 men, and Bachelor no. 1 is terrifyingly familiar to Detective Jenkins. That same afternoon, a parole officer called him to identify a suspected serial killer from a sketch, giving him a name: Rodney Alcala—that man is the same one who's on TV now, winning the show. However, the Dating Game Killer has no idea that his 8 year old victim from years ago is actually alive, and that she will be the one to ultimately take him down.
