On the morning of March 24, 1994, 26-year-old Matthew Flores, a former Army lieutenant and Gulf War veteran, parked his rented car outside his new workplace in Santa Clara, California. Moments later, he was shot execution-style as he leaned into the car to grab his jacket. The parking lot was full of employees starting their day, yet no one saw the shooter. Security footage revealed a dark Ford Explorer circling the lot suspiciously around the time Matt was killed, but unfortunately, his murder was not captured on camera. Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have ever been identified publicly. It's been over 30 years since Matt was killed, and investigators are still searching for the killer...

Welcome to November 30, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate amazing flights and the spirit of giving. Mississippi is best known as the birthplace of Elvis Presley and The Blues. But it's also known as the setting for one of the world's greatest feats of aviation. In 1935, two brothers from Meridian, Mississippi—Al and Fred Key—took off in a single-engine plane from the local airport. They wanted to see how long they could stay in the air before having to land. Their aircraft, called the Ole Miss, circled the area and refueled from another plane via a special nozzle they had invented. When it was all said and done, the brothers had been flying for just over 27 days and had traveled 52,320 miles--which at the time was a world record. It's National Mississippi Day, and we celebrate The Flying Keys and all of the fine folks in the Magnolia State. If you're already stressed out from a weekend of holiday shopping, today is the perfect time to hit pause. On the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, folks celebrate Giving Tuesday also known as the National Day of Giving. It doesn't take a lot to lift someone's spirits. Take the story of Matthew Flores. Matthew was a 12 year old boy who just wanted something to read. He could not even afford a bus pass to the library, let alone books of his own. Matthew asked his mail carrier, Ron Lynch, for any extra junk mail he could read and the postal worker put the story on FaceBook. 3,500 books later Matthew has his own personal library, which he now shares with those in need. On Giving Tuesday, celebrate your own good fortune by sharing it with those around you. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

March 24, 1994: Matt's ninth day of training for his new job. That morning, he arrived at work and parked in the middle of the lot. As he exited his car, Matt Flores was shot once in the back of the head at point-blank range. He probably never even saw his killer. And incredibly, even though there were 22 people in the parking lot at the time, nobody else did either. Then the investigation was held up by bad luck. Despite the presence of several security cameras in the parking lot, the killing itself took place in a blind spot of the cameras. So, why would someone want Matt Flores dead? Family and law enforcement couldn't even come up with a motive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
