In May 2006, 32-year-old writer Rey Rivera vanished from his Baltimore home after receiving a mysterious phone call. Eight days later, his body was discovered in a locked, unused conference room at the historic Belvedere Hotel.

He had fallen with such force that he crashed through the roof, leaving a shocking hole. Near the hole, investigators found his phone and glasses, strangely intact. The case was further complicated by a bizarre, coded note found taped behind his computer. Was it a tragic suicide, a freak accident, or a murder orchestrated by powerful figures? This week we dive into one of the most baffling unsolved cases of the 21st century.
