Unsolved Mysteries from Arizona (Southern Crimes)

On June 18th, 1977, the body of Tucson escrow agent Charles Morgan was found 40 miles west of the city in the Sonoran Desert — wearing a bulletproof vest in 110-degree heat, a .357 Magnum nearby, and a $2 bill pinned inside his underwear, covered in coded names and hand-drawn smuggling routes. Pima County ruled it a suicide. His family never accepted that conclusion. This documentary examines five unresolved cases from across Arizona — a double homicide of a young couple stargazing in the high desert, the staged disappearance of a Peoria business owner whose husband forged her farewell letter, a Jane Doe who spent 39 years without a name beneath a cedar tree off Interstate 40, and a former forensics trooper who used his own investigative training to evade capture across three countries. We trace the forensic evidence, the investigative failures, and the cold case breakthroughs — including genetic genealogy work that finally gave one victim her name back in 2021 — while examining what it means when the desert keeps its secrets for decades.
