On September 6, 1998, 70-year-old Agnes Burkin and her 48-year-old daughter Sharyn were found dead in their Las Vegas home after firefighters extinguished an intentionally set blaze. Investigators determined both women had been stabbed to death before the fire was started; the fire showed multiple points of origin and was believed to have been used to conceal the killings. The victims were discovered in separate bedrooms, which led authorities to conclude an intruder likely moved quietly through the house and attacked them while they slept.

A van belonging to one of the victims was reported missing from the property and was later found abandoned in a desert area. No suspects have been publicly identified and the case remained unsolved as a cold case. Can anyone with memories of the Burkin family, the neighborhood in 1998, or information about the abandoned van help investigators by coming forward?
