[Vision2020] Six gay men shot to death in Iraq

[Tom Hansen]

Jennifer Ingalls stated:

"I'm not sure I'd categorize the Wil Hendrick case as uncared-about. It
received national attention several years after the case was initiated with
some cold case show . . . I can't remember if it was an "America's Most
Wanted" or "Unsolved Mysteries" show, but something along those lines."

The case of Wil Hendrick was highlighted on Unsolved Mysteries a number of 
years ago.  And just like back then . . . it remains just as unsolved and 
swept under the proverbial rug as it was then.

Come on, Moscow!

START GIVING A SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!
