Shondra May Case: DNA Breakthrough & Jailhouse Death | Cold Cases

The Shondra May case takes a chilling new turn as DNA finally links 63-year-old Rubin Weeks to the 1986 abduction and murder of the Mississippi teen—only for Weeks to die suddenly in custody before ever facing a jury. In this Unexplained News Update, we reconstruct the haunting details of Shondra’s disappearance, the decades of dead ends, and the late-life arrest that promised long-awaited answers before collapsing into another mystery behind jail walls.

We also investigate the unmasking of Long Island’s “Peaches” Doe as Army veteran Tanya Denise Jackson, and the arrest of Andrew Dykes tied to her torso murder, plus the still-unfolding disappearance and eerie reappearance-on-camera of autistic Washington man Jonathan Hoang. Then we look up: tonight’s striking Moon–Jupiter pairing, possible auroras, and early Geminid meteors, before shifting into high strangeness with the 60th anniversary of the Kecksburg UFO incident, the desert ghost-lights of Abu Fanous, and a mimic entity stalking a Dutch farmhouse.

Hosted by Reese Haldon for Unexplained.co, this 7 PM bulletin blends hard facts, open questions, and carefully framed witness testimony. From cold-case DNA hits to skyfire and shapeshifters, where do you draw the line between closure, coincidence, and the truly unexplained?
