Buried Secrets — The Murder of Pamela Butler

In February 2009, 47‑year‑old Environmental Protection Agency analyst Pamela Butler disappeared from her Washington, D.C., home. Years later her ex‑boyfriend, Jose Angel Rodriguez‑Cruz, admitted to killing her and led investigators to the area where her remains were believed buried — a location later determined to be unrecoverable because of highway construction. The investigation ultimately connected Rodriguez‑Cruz to a decades‑old disappearance of his estranged wife.
