Murder of Kim Raffo

The early morning air was crisp on November 20, 2006, as the first rays of daylight crept over the desolate outskirts of Atlantic City. It was here, along a drainage ditch, that a scene of horror unfolded—four women, their bodies carefully arranged, their lives stolen by a predator who remained in the shadows. Among them was Kim Raffo, a 35-year-old mother, sister, and friend.Kim’s life, like so many others, was complicated. She had known love, family, and laughter, but she had also faced struggles that pushed her into the margins of society. Yet no hardship could define her, and no circumstance could justify the cruel fate she met.The eerie precision of the crime scene—a silent, chilling message—pointed to the work of a serial killer. But nearly two decades later, the case remains unsolved. Who took Kim’s life? Why has justice remained so elusive?Speculation has swirled, especially with the arrest of Rex Heuermann in the Long Island Serial Killer case. Could there be a connection? Or does Atlantic City’s own unknown predator still walk free?These are the questions we refuse to let go unanswered. Because every victim—every woman, every lost girl—deserves justice. And until the truth is uncovered, we will keep searching, keep speaking, and keep fighting to make sure the world remembers Kim Raffo’s name.
