Many people will never have heard of Derry Township Pennsylvania. Those that have might think of small town America or perhaps that most iconic of American company’s Hershey Chocolate whose first factory was built and remains in Derry Pennsylvania.

But every city has its mix of light and dark. In Derry Township the dark doesn’t get much worse than the unsolved brutal killing of 22-year-old Samantha Joann Lang on March 27th, 2007. Samantha’s life ended bitterly on the kitchen floor of her father’s home where she bled to death after an intruder slashed her throat.

For nearly fourteen years Samantha’s family has lived with the horror of what occurred that night and with the mystery of who stole her life.
