Nick Cordova’s Unsolved Mysteries Episode 81 Is Now Available: What Viewers Should Know

Nick Cordova was 40 when he was killed at his air-conditioning business in Gilbert, Arizona, on May 27, 2020. He was speaking with his children over FaceTime when the shooting occurred. More than six years later, his family continues seeking answers. On Thursday, October 29, 2026, Unsolved Mysteries released a video-podcast episode about Nick’s killing. Its title is Executed in His Office. Who Killed Nick?, and it is Episode 81. The program is now available to watch, not merely announced for a future premiere.

Why It Matters

Nick’s family has continued asking people with firsthand knowledge to come forward. National attention may reach someone who saw the suspect, a vehicle, or something else relevant in 2020 but did not realize it mattered. The episode is a chance to revisit an unresolved homicide. It is not a new arrest, a court ruling, or proof that a person mentioned online committed a crime.

What changed on October 29

In a prior October 28 entry, Faces in the Footnotes published a source-linked announcement explaining that Unsolved Mysteries had scheduled Episode 81 for the following day. On October 29, the producer’s official website updated the episode to Aired October 29 and offered a video link. That is the newly verified development. The earlier announcement remains historically accurate for the day it was written, and its separately dated release note preserves the chronology.

The killing and the public appeal

According to Gilbert police reporting reviewed by FOX 10 Phoenix in May 2026, Nick was shot at his workplace near Cooper and Guadalupe roads. Investigators released surveillance images of people they hoped the public could help identify. The producer’s episode description mentions footage taken near a gas station and a red truck. These details are investigative leads described in public reporting, not findings that identify a legally established killer.

What the episode can and cannot establish

The official Unsolved Mysteries summary refers to Nick’s business partner as a witness and describes events surrounding the shooting. The production’s description is not a substitute for a police report, sworn witness testimony, a certified transcript, or forensic evidence. We have verified the release and viewing link. We have not independently watched and checked every statement made in the episode against the primary case file.

We will distinguish future tips, reported leads, and verified police findings. No fresh arrest or charging decision was confirmed in the source set examined for this update.

How readers can help responsibly

Anyone with firsthand information may contact Gilbert Police at 480-503-6500 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377). Anonymous tips can be directed through Silent Witness. Sharing names or accusations on social media is not a substitute for providing investigators with useful information.

What Happens Next

We will review the program’s claims against original investigators’ records and reliable contemporaneous reporting before treating any purported new detail as established. Our existing October 28 announcement remains available, and Nick’s complete case page continues to hold the chronology and broader document trail.
