An Abuse of Power - October 17 2026

October 17th: Sasha Samsudean Disappeared (2015)

On October 17th 2015 a young woman returned home from a night drinking to an apartment complex that, by all accounts, should have been incredibly safe. Only to be preyed upon by someone who used their power to access her and take her life away.
