Casey Mahoney was 27 when her body was found December 15, 2010, in a trash-strewn lot along East Tusculum Street in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood. Authorities determined she had been strangled. Mahoney had recently returned to Kensington after attempting to enter a drug detox program and had been living in Philadelphia for several months while struggling with addiction and hoping to reunite with her young son. Family and friends described her as a loving mother trying to turn her life around.

Her death was linked to two similar killings in November 2010, and investigators connected the cases through DNA evidence and surveillance footage showing a man believed to be the attacker. The killings were attributed to a suspect labeled the Kensington Strangler, who targeted vulnerable women in the area, many battling addiction and living on the streets. Did anyone in Kensington at that time see Casey or remember her routines or the people she spent time with?
