Did missing Army nurse fall prey to a serial killer targeting military women? | Full Episode
NCIS Investigation: The Murder of Army Nurse Holly Wy Monk
Uncover the complex investigation tracing connections between a burnt apartment, a terrifying standoff with a serial killer narrative, and the definitive evidence that brought military spouse John Wy Monk to justice for murder.
Short Summary
- NCIS agents immediately suspected foul play after finding burned evidence, including a deliberately removed piece of carpet, at Holly Wy Monk's apartment.
- Investigators initially pursued three paths: the husband (John Wy Monk), a harassing ex-girlfriend (Lindsay), and a rumored Zodiac copycat killer active in the area.
- The case broke when testimony from Marine Kyle Alden revealed he helped John Wy Monk dispose of Holly's dismembered body after the murder.
- Holly's father used the tragedy to raise awareness about domestic violence within the military community. This episode documents how NCIS pieced together physical evidence—like crucial missing knives found at the burial site—to convict the killer, John Wy Monk, leading to a life sentence without parole.

16:05 - "He couldn't handle her superior rank." And THAT is why the "With a Marine's wife is still missing" comment at 14:04 didn't sit well with me. She was not only an Active Duty service member's spouse, she was a service member herself. ...48 Hours usually doesn't make such dismissive comments.
What a tragedy that happened to thjs mother. Another insecure man, just could not get over a more successful woman. Verbal than physical abuse, then he finally killed her. So sad.
The words of her friends and father were touching. The brother should feel no guilt. You never know what a person can turn out to be
The most dangerous time in a relationship for an abused person is when they’re leaving.
Thank you for your service, Holly! May you now rest in perpetual peace!
Tears…. What an arrogant, evil beast her husband was. No apology, no reason, just a heartless thing, who is exactly where he needs to be.
“how the sun hit her hair.. how she was smiling that day” Speaking of her son’s face at the funeral and how little her daughter was, how her father was so close to her …it all just tears you up inside Sending love to her whole family❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The man that was over this investigation is a man of great integrity 🙏🏻
Some people search their whole lives for a friend like that- sounds like Holly was blessed to have a friend like that too. Sorry for your loss, Holly seemed like a good person. 💐
So heartbreaking! He could have just divorced her but he was hotheaded and a control freak. Hoping he gets prison justice.
