December Patreon Video: Tonya McKinley

Tonya McKinley was a 23-year-old mother who was tragically murdered on January 1, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida. Tonya was last seen leaving a New Year's Eve celebration at Darryl's Bar & Grille before she was found deceased in an empty lot the next morning. Tonya's case remained unsolved for over 35 years until DNA evidence blew her case wide open. Despite there finally being some resolution, there are still so many unanswered questions in Tonya's case.
