ABC 20/20 “Evil at the Door” May 29 2026
ABC News presents an all-new edition of 20/20 titled “Evil at the Door,” airing Friday, May 29, 2026, at 9/8c on ABC and streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. The two-hour true crime special examines the disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Kenia Monge, a Colorado teenager whose case remained unsolved for years before investigators finally uncovered the truth.
Kenia Monge disappeared in April 2011 after a night out with friends in downtown Denver. According to investigators, the teenager had been asked to leave a nightclub after becoming intoxicated. In the confusion, she left without her purse and cellphone, which remained with friends who did not realize she had gone. When Kenia failed to return home, her family quickly became alarmed and began a desperate search across the Denver area.
As days turned into weeks, few clues emerged about what had happened. Friends, relatives, volunteers, and law enforcement searched tirelessly, but Kenia seemed to have vanished without a trace. The mystery left her family living in uncertainty as investigators pursued numerous leads but struggled to identify a suspect.
The breakthrough came years later when authorities connected the case to a convicted criminal whose disturbing actions had already drawn police attention. Investigators eventually determined that Kenia had accepted a ride from a man she believed was helping her get home safely. Instead, prosecutors said she became the victim of a predator who abducted and murdered her.
“Evil at the Door” explores the lengthy investigation that finally exposed the killer and brought long-awaited answers to Kenia’s family. The special features interviews with investigators, loved ones, and others closely connected to the case, while examining how advances in forensic evidence and persistent police work helped solve the crime.
The broadcast also highlights the emotional toll of the case on Kenia’s family and friends, who never stopped searching for her. Through exclusive interviews and detailed reporting, 20/20 recounts the race to uncover the truth behind one of Colorado’s most haunting missing persons cases and the effort to bring a killer to justice.
