Case Story |
|

A Motivated Young Man |
|
| |
According to friends and family, 24-year-old Chris Mader had always aimed high in life. By holding himself to the highest standards, Chris was able to land incredible internships that would lead him to his big dream -- being a television sports broadcaster.
Chris was a busy guy, working his internships, taking courses, and bartending all at the same time. But friends and family say his drive for success was unstoppable -- and that he'd do anything to make it big as a sports journalist. He even auditioned for ESPN's "Dream Job" show.
But Chris wouldn't live to see his dream come true. Cops say someone stole that opportunity from Chris when they brutally murdered him. |

Dashed Dreams |
|
| |
On Thanksgiving morning, 2004, 9-1-1 dispatchers received a call from a Washington, D.C. police officer who lived in Chris' neighborhood. He'd just gotten home, when he heard a gunshot, and a car crash. After reporting the incident, the officer rushed around the block searching for the source of the loud crash he'd heard.
When he found Chris' Dodge Stratus, the officer's fears were confirmed. The car had crashed into an electrical box, and Chris was slumped over the wheel, having been shot in the head.
The officer, out of his jurisdiction and off duty, told the dispatchers he'd preserve the crime scene until the other officers arrived. When Detective Keith Moody arrived, he immediately knew he was dealing with a murder scene, and got to work collecting what little clues were left behind.
Det. Moody determined Chris had been turning right into his neighborhood when a bullet came through the driver's side window, and that he'd died immediately.
The detective also found the weapon was most likely a 40-caliber berretta. But they still didn't know where it came from. Based on the angle in which the bullet sliced the car window, Det. Moody believed Chris' killer was most likely standing in the median strip of the road, or across the street in front of an elementary school when they fired the deadly shot. |

A Break In The Case |
|
| |
Detectives were working hard to find out how this man, who family says was loved by everyone, was murdered so callously. Then -- a break in the case. Two hours after the murder, police received a suspicious 9-1-1 call -- but the caller wasn't really reporting anything. In fact, police say it was as if the caller was asking questions to find out what police knew about the crime. Police say if they can find out who placed the call, they might be able to track down the murderer.
Another break came when a witness came forward and told police they'd seen a man walking near the crime scene the night of the murder. Based on the description given by the witness, cops developed a sketch. Now, they are hoping someone recognizes the man in the sketch. Police believe the man could give them the answers they need to solve Chris' mysterious murder. |
