41-year-old Leah Rowlands and her two sons had recently moved to the small town of Cozad, Nebraska, with the hopes of starting a new life away from her abusive ex-husband.
Having just been promoted at the Amoco station she worked at, and in a new relationship with a man in the area, it seems like she was finally moving on from a clearly troubling past.
Sadly, however, she would be the victim of a heinous and senseless crime that, to this day, remains unsolved.
On March 10, 1997, Leah was working her shift at the Amoco convenience store when a man in rolled-up sweatpants, a bomber jacket, and no shoes, walks in. After waiting for a mother and a child inside to check out and leave, he grabs a soda and walks toward the counter, eyeing the surveillance cam as he, almost tauntingly, takes a sip. One law enforcement official described him as "very brazen, very confident in what he was doing."
He has Leah clear out the register, and then has her lie on the ground, face down. After a minute or so, with the store completely empty of people, he shoots her three times with a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.
He proceeds to calmly leave the scene in the vehicle he had arrived in (a red 1993 Pontiac Grand Am), having essentially killed Leah for a soda, a pack of cigarettes, and $150 in cash.
Despite the apparent randomness of the crime, the police had a ton of evidence to work with, including footage of his uncovered face from CCTV, a picture of the back license plate of his car, and prints he left behind at the scene.
Unfortunately, those leads all turned out to be dead ends, as nobody could recognize his face, his prints were not in the system, and the footage of his plate was too grainy to make out.
All these years later, and law enforcement is still no closer to solving this than they were at the start, leaving many questions unanswered.

Theories:
Crime of opportunity:
The police have theorized that the murder was just a random crime by someone with no connection to Leah or the area.
The perpetrator could have just been driving on highway 80 (where Leahβs shop was stationed), realized he needed gas, and decided to commit the crimes after pulling up to the gas pump.
If true, why has nobody come forward with his identity? And why did the guy seemingly disappear after showing no effort at all to hide who he was?
Targeted by someone she knew:

I was just curious. We've had a lot of groups take the girl crush and jazzy/mature concepts of the 00s forward - but what about the λμ€κ³‘λ€ whose bass lines dropped in a 2/4 beat and had techno/futuristic sounds? Has any group in recent times used that era in any of their songs?
I'm talking about songs like
-
Baby V.O.X. - What Should I Do
-
Baby V.O.X - Coincidence
-
Lee Junghyun - Wa (What a goddamned iconic song)
-
Koyote's entire discography - Meeting, Genuine, Sorrow etc
-
So Chanhwee - Tears (don't call yourself a kpop fan if you haven't heard (and tried) this at least once)
-
Turbo - My Childhood Dream
So yeah preferably a movie but I can also accept show recs.So basically I'm trash and I would die for a female detective male killer/bad guy.A bit of romance too.The FL should also be a bit of a badass. They could also both be detectives but they hate each other at first.I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers,sue me.
Iβve been playing Conq Lee Sin with Eclipse - Lucidity Boots - Ravenous - Black Cleaver - GA lately with some success. My question is, how do you play the Zed matchup? We know Sin is squishy af and the amount of burst Zed does is insane. What can Sin do to win this matchup? Even Rβing his R doesnβt seem to work as he can still burst you.
I can pay with some other options but thatβs what I prefer. I would like to get pretty good condition steels. Again, I donβt want the comic art ones.
