Do you know who murdered Sharyn Burkin ?
Sharyn Burkin, age 30, was tragically murdered along with her mother, Agnes Burkin, on September 6, 1998, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Firefighters responding to a blaze at their home on Glenn Davis Drive discovered their bodies after extinguishing the fire. Both women had been stabbed to death before the fire, which investigators believe was set to cover up the crime. Sharyn and her mother lived a quiet life, and no immediate suspects were identified at the time.

The crime scene showed evidence of multiple origins for the fire, and a vehicle belonging to one of the victims was found abandoned miles away from the house. Despite several theories and leads, including the possibility of a robbery gone wrong, the case remains unsolved to this day. The Burkin murders are still considered one of Las Vegas's lingering cold cases, with investigators hoping for any new information that might help bring the perpetrator to justice.
