In January 2000, 49-year-old Kaysone Khounpanya was found murdered in her Hurst, Texas apartment. A kind, soft-spoken mother, grandmother, and aspiring singer, her death sent shockwaves through the Laotian community. Who would want to harm someone so beloved? No tips ever came in, and no suspect was ever named. This week, Ali and Eli revisit Kaysone’s tragic and still unsolved case.

*** If you have any information about the murder of Kaysone Khounpanya, please contact the Hurst Police Department at (817) 788-7180. ***
