On the morning of March 10, 1997, Leah Rowlands, a 41-year-old mother of two, worked at the Amoco gas station just off Interstate 80 in Cozad, Nebraska. Before the afternoon arrived, Leah was found shot to death behind the counter. When police reviewed the Amoco's surveillance footage, they saw that just after 10:30am, a white, barefoot man robbed Leah. After she gave him $150, he ordered her to lie down behind the counter. He then pulled out a gun, leaned over the counter, and shot her three times. After shooting Leah, the killer went back to his car and drove away, never to be seen again. It’s been nearly 27 years since Leah was killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…



On March 10, 1997, Leah Rowlands was working at the Amoco gas station off Interstate 80 in Cozad, Nebraska. Just after 10:30am, a white male with short dark hair, in his late 20s to mid 30s, standing at around 6ft to 6ft, 3in tall, robbed Leah, then shot her three times with a 9 mm. One minute later, he drove off in a red, two door Grand Am car, possibly an S-E model from 1992 to 1995.
