“Who killed Amy Gellert?” Cocoa, Beach, Florida on March 20, 1994. It was college spring break. Amy’s mom and step-dad returned home earlier than her after a church service. They entered their home and found a male intruder waiting. The couple offered him money who quickly refused it. Amy pulled her car into the driveway and the man stabbed the parents multiple times. He then ran out into the driveway and killed Amy.
The intruder was carrying a dagger knife with a chain shaped handle. He also had a prop gun that is used on TV and in the movies. Bob and Bunny Leighton both say he was dressed in black. Bob says he looked like a white male. Bunny said he had a unique accent. The intruder made her lay over him in the house. Police say he might have military training. What none of them don’t understand is why he waited for Amy to come home. She just got out of drug rehab in 1992 and by 1994 was moving along nicely.
The male intruder got away and that was 20 years ago. Did Amy know that intruder?
