22: MURDER: Nicole Glass & Melissa Mason

Derrick Levasseur
About this episode
On the afternoon of December 3, 2010, best friends and roommates, Nicole Glass and Melissa Mason, both 27 years old, were found dead in their Phoenix, Arizona home – they had been strangled. When the police interviewed Melissa’s loved ones, they discovered she was around eight weeks pregnant, turning this into a triple homicide according to Arizona law. Despite a thorough investigation, the police haven't identified any motives or suspects. It’s been just over 13 years since Nicole, Melissa, and Melissa’s unborn child were murdered, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…

Nicole Glass and Melissa Mason were found dead on December 3, 2010 in their home in the 4200 block of East Cambridge Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. They had been strangled to death at some point between 11:15 PM on December 2 and 12:00 PM December 3.
