On the morning of August 28, 2008, Kanika Powell, a 28-year-old laboratory employee with top-secret security clearance, left her apartment in Laurel, Maryland, to run errands. She had spent the past five days on edge after three different men—one posing as an FBI agent and two claiming to be delivery drivers—knocked on her door, each asking for her by name. She refused to let any of them in. Just before noon on the 28th, Kanika returned home. Moments later, she was ambushed outside her apartment and shot multiple times. Despite years of investigation, her killer has never been identified, leaving many unanswered questions. Was Kanika targeted because of her top-secret security clearance? Or was there something even more sinister at play? 28-year-old veteran Kanika Powell received three mysterious knocks at her door, starting on August 23, 2008. The first man claimed to be an FBI agent. The other two—one on the evening of August 27 and another on the morning of August 28—said they were there to deliver packages. Each man knew Kanika's name, but she refused to let any of them in. After the final knock, Kanika left home to run errands. She returned around 11:50 a.m. and was gunned down in the hallway of her apartment at the Deerfield Run Apartments in Laurel, Maryland. The killer and murder weapon have never been found.

You ever get a feeling that something or someone isn't right. Your intuition kicks in and tells you to run, hide, go the other way, make another choice. Well Today I'm going to tell you a story about a woman trusting her instincts. She did all the things she was “supposed to” because she knew something wasn't right, she called the police, told her mom, warned her friends, and was STILL met with a premature death. This is the UnderReported g story of 28 year old Kanika Powell. These episodes contain a lot of violence, including sexual violence, assault and murder and while it is heartbreaking and extremely tough to talk about them, I felt sharing their stories was important. *This podcast was recorded 2 years ago...and I am ACTIVELY working on new episodes! Ill be creating an email address & would love for you to send me the names of any women & girls stories I should look into. Thanks for listening.
Kanika var búin að koma sér vel fyrir í lífinu og var spennt fyrir komandi tímum. Það var allt þar til að hún byrjaði að fá dularfullar heimsóknir. Eftir fyrstu heimsóknina þá fylgdi önnur, og Kanika var orðin mjög áhyggjufull enda fannst henni eins og hún væri eitthvað skotmark. Þann örlagaríka dag mætti hún heim til sín eftir stúss og á móti henni tóku þessir dularfullu menn sem ætluðu sér aðeins eitt. Viltu meira efni?

Though she lived alone, Army veteran, Kanika Powell, was intelligent and cautious, and not one to be easily victimized. On the evening of Saturday, August 22, 2008, a bizarre chain of events, which seem like something more befitting of a spy movie than reality, began with a knock at her apartment door...All credit to https://truenoirstories.wordpress.com/2017/02/21/kanika-powell/ for the report.
This week's episode tells the stories of young people who's lives were tragically cut short--but it was no accident. It was cold-blooded murder. Kanika Powell was a smart, successful, and career-driven young woman. She had no criminal record and had a deep connection with her family and friends. When mysterious men began showing up at Kanika's apartment, trying to trick her into letting them inside, it was just the beginning. Despite taking all the correct steps in attempting to keep herself safe, she was ultimately unable to escape whoever was after her. Three months later, a man by the name of Sean Green would be brazenly shot to death at a traffic light 25 miles from where Kanika was killed. Neither case made any sense to their families-could they be related?Chad Maurer was an attractive teen who had recently graduated high school and was trying to save up for college by taking up a job at a local bike shop. He left his parents' house to go back to work after lunch one Saturday, then disappeared. Strangely, Chad would be found dead in his vehicle over 150 miles away from his home on the southside of Chicago--leaving his grieving parents with more questions than answers.Elizabeth "Liz" Barraza was a self-proclaimed "geek" who loved Star Wars and Harry Potter. She was also a gifted costume designer and would often spend her free time volunteering at a local children's hospital, dressing up as various characters for the entertainment of kids. By all accounts, Liz had no problems with her marriage, her job, or her life at all. So why did someone drive into her neighborhood, approach her as she was setting up for a rummage sale, and shoot her at point blank range?For sources and episode information: http://143mysteries.comFor photos: https://www.instagram.com/143mysteries/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/143PODCASTOne Minute and Forty-Three Seconds is dedicated to my number one fan.

August 28, 2008. Laurel, Maryland. While returning to her apartment after running errands, 28-year old Army veteran and government employee Kanika Powell is shot to death inside the building's hallway. In the preceding days, Kanika claimed that separate men impersonating an FBI agent and a deliveryman had knocked on her apartment door, but she refused to let them inside. Two-and-half-months later, Sean Nicholas Green, a 31-year old government employee living in Oxon Hill 30 miles away, is shot to death by a masked gunman while parked in traffic. Could the two crimes be connected? Were Kanika and Sean both murdered because they happened to work government jobs requiring top secret clearance?

Kanika Powell was a brilliant twenty-eight year old woman living in Prince George County, Maryland. After a tour of service in the Army, she came out and began work as a security contractor. Much to her delight, she found work at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. After two years working as a contractor, she was hired on as a full time employee. Her work required a top secret classification and she was involved in securing projects related to National Security and in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security. The nature of her work has never been revealed for public consumption, and though the Lab did confirm that she worked there, they would not release even what her job title was. On Saturday, August 23rd, 2008, Kanika had a frightening experience where a man posing as an FBI agent had tried to gain access to her apartment. He knew her name, and approached her door, but Kanika was intelligent enough to not allow him inside. She later called the police to report the incident and sent out an email to family and friends telling them the strange story. Four days later, a different man showed up, claiming to have a package for her. Again she did not open the door. She called her mother about the second incident, took the day off from work and ran some errands. When she arrived back at her apartment at approximately 11:50am, someone was waiting in the hallway and shot her multiple times. Kanika never regained consciousness and passed away as a result of her injuries the next day. Police were baffled by the seemingly motiveless crime and didn't have so much as a single suspect. Three months later, Sean Green, a thirty one year old man working in as an IT professional for a National Security contractor was shot nine times while sitting at a red light. The attack took place just twenty-five miles from where Kanika had been murdered, and the similarities didn't end there. Many have speculated that both Kanika and Green were murdered by the same individual, or possibly for the same reason. Why was Kanika Powell murdered? Was it simply a random act of violence? Was the murder perpetrated by someone she knew? Is she a yet unproven victim of the "Mother Daughter Killer" Jason Thomas Scott? Was her murder part of a larger plan which also targeted Sean Green or was Kanika the victim of a murder for hire scheme? Join host Steven Pacheco as he attempts to unravel the mystery of this violent murder with possible ties to a serial killer, a hired hitman or a greater conspiracy in the underbelly of National Security.

*In 2008, a Maryland woman working in government security had a few strange visits to her apartment by unknown men. She never answered the door for them, but after coming back from running errands one afternoon, she was shot to death in the hallway of her complex. Was this murder related to her work, or was is the doing of a local serial killer who was haunting the area at this exact same time?
