Our card this week is John Phillips, the Jack of Diamonds from Rhode Island. 

Nineteen-year-old John Phillips was found dead and surrounded by dozens of weapons in a Rhode Island parking lot on October 28, 1986. His death was ruled a suicide, and for 15 years, the case was considered closed. But in 2001, after taking a closer look at the case files, detectives realized something didn?t quite add up? Today, they?re still working to uncover exactly what? or who? brought John to his death that October day. 

If you have any information about the suspicious death of John Phillips in North Kingstown, Rhode Island in October 1986, you can reach Captain MacCoy directly at [email protected] or you can call the North Kingstown PD at 401-294-3316 extension 8211. You can also send a direct message to detectives through the facebook page located here.If you or someone you know is in crisis or feeling suicidal, please reach out for help by calling the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8, where trained counselors are available 24/7 to provide support.

Our card this week is Alfonso McCoy Jr. & Debra Gomez, The Queen of Clubs from Arizona.

It seems like more than just a coincidence that this couple is on that particular face of cards, because by all accounts, Debbie was Alfonso?s queen. They?d only been together a few years or so, but according to both families, Alfonso always took care of his people. When he did choose to settle down, he was loyal to that one person. He was Debbie?s protector. But in the darkness of winter more than twenty years ago? not even he could save them.

If you know anything about the murders of Alfonso McCoy Junior and Debra ?Debbie? Gomez in February 2001 in Phoenix, Arizona, you can anonymously contact Silent Witness at 480-948-6377 or toll-free at 1-800-343-TIPS. OR you can type what you know at silentwitness.org. If you?re comfortable reaching Detective Nunley directly, you can email him at [email protected] call him directly at 602-256-3523.

Our card this week is Nikole "Niki" Bakoles, the 3 of Hearts from Utah. 

When duck hunters discovered human remains in an area called Saltair near The Great Salt Lake in Utah in the fall of 2000, investigators began the difficult task of trying to learn the real name of the woman they called ?Saltair Sally".  It took 12 years for the remains to be identified as those of Nikole ?Niki? Bakoles, a 20-year-old mom originally from Washington state. Now, nearly another 12 years have passed, and investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to Niki and who left her by that lake. 

Investigators are still looking to talk to anyone who knew Niki Bakoles or Joel Chaudoin in the greater Salt Lake City area in early 2000. If you or anyone you know knew them, or if you have any information about Niki?s death, please contact Salt Lake County Sheriff?s Detective Ben Pender at 385-468-9816 or [email protected].

Our card this week is Patricia "Patti" Barrett, the 2 of Hearts from Utah.

When Patricia ?Patti? Barrett got on a bus from Dallas to Salt Lake City in 1978, her family had no way of knowing they?d never see her again. For over 30 years they were left wondering what happened to Patti, until 2012, when, with the help of Patti?s daughter and DNA testing, Salt Lake County detectives were able to connect her to the remains of a 1978 Jane Doe. Nearly 12 years have passed since that identification, and investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to Patti, and who?s responsible for her death.

If you know anything about the murder of Patricia ?Patti? Barrett in Salt Lake City, Utah in September of 1978, or if you know anyone who may have been in the Salt Lake City Jail who could have crossed paths with Patti during that period of time, we urge you to call Salt Lake County Sheriff?s Detective Ben Pender directly at 385-468-9816 or email him at [email protected].

Our card this season is Ada Haradine, the 3 of Clubs from Indiana.

"The Deck Investigates" returns with Season 2, delving deep into the perplexing case of Ada Haradine, a 40-year-old mother of two who vanished without a trace from her Elkhart, Indiana home on a seemingly ordinary Wednesday afternoon in May 1985. 

Over 14 gripping episodes, we'll meticulously reconstruct the events leading up to Ada's disappearance, explore the initial efforts to find her and the myriad of suspects and theories that emerged in the wake of her vanishing. The investigation takes a dramatic turn when Ada's remains are discovered three years later in a wooded area 12 miles from her home, transforming a missing persons case into a homicide investigation. As law enforcement scrambles to make sense of new evidence, the focus shifts to surprising potential suspects, including Ada's neighbor. Through exclusive interviews with family members, law enforcement, and key witnesses, "The Deck Investigates" grapples with questions about the challenges of pursuing justice decades after a crime. Join us as we peel back the layers of this baffling cold case, reexamine old leads, and shine a light on overlooked details in the quest to finally answer the question: Who killed Ada Haradine, and why?

Our card this week is Ralph Salazar and Alice Griego, the Ace of Hearts from Utah.

Back in October of 2023, we were contacted by one of Alice Griego?s son, Frankie, about covering his mother?s case. He was a listener of The Deck and had previously heard us cover cases in Utah. Unknown to him, our reporting team had already flagged his mother?s case as one we needed to take a closer look at. Not just because it was unsolved, but because we felt it had never received the full coverage it deserved. And we are confident someone out there knows the truth. Maybe it?s time for that someone to come forward?

If you have any information about the murders of Ralph Salazar and Alice Griego in December of 2012 in White City, Utah, please contact Salt Lake County Sheriff?s Detective Ben Pender at (385) 468-9816 or email him at [email protected].

In the summer of 2017, Brianna was at a crossroads in her life. At the young age of 24, she was recently divorced from her husband and now living with an allegedly abusive boyfriend, all while battling some personal demons. 

So, on July 15th, when Brianna mysteriously disappeared, some people might assume she just walked away from it all and left her troubles behind. The Flint Township Police in Michigan are not those people. And seven years on, they?re still looking for Brianna and whoever took her?

If you know anything about Brianna's disappearance, you can reach Detective Lacey Lopez?s direct office line at the Flint Township Police Department? that?s 810-600-3266.

Our card this week is Richard Chadek III, the 3 of Clubs from Nebraska.

When an 11-year-old went missing from a quiet Nebraska suburb in 1986, an entire task force got to work searching for him. But as days passed by, their hopes for a safe return dwindled, and the unimaginable was confirmed a week after the disappearance. It?s been 38 years since Richard Chadek III was taken in broad daylight? but that doesn?t mean the leads have all dried up. 

If you have any information regarding the abduction of Richard Chadek in 1986 please contact the Douglas County Sheriff?s Office Tip Line at 402-444-6000.

Our card this week is Jeannette Drzewiecki, the 8 of Diamonds from Texas. 

When 19-year-old Jeannette left the little rented house she shared with her husband Matt in Odessa, Texas on the evening of September 13th, 1982, he had every reason to believe she?d be back in no time. What he couldn?t have known was that a silent countdown started the moment she walked out the door... and that every passing minute brought him one step closer to a life he never planned. One where he would be left to raise their 11-day-old daughter all on his own.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Jeannette Drzewiecki from Odessa, Texas, in September of 1982, you can leave an anonymous tip with Odessa Crime Stoppers at 432-333-8477. You can also reach Det. Gonzalez on her direct line at 432-335-4926.

The stories we cover on this show have made me more aware than ever how even the smallest of choices and chance encounters can change the course of a person?s life. A last-minute decision, or even a shift in schedule, can have a positive impact? or? result in dire consequences.

And in the wee morning hours on June 24th, 1983? something out of Tina Milford?s control placed the young mother on the same path as a predator?

If you have any information about the murder of Tina Milford in Anderson, South Carolina in 1983, please call the Anderson County Sheriff?s Office at 864-260-4400, or you can speak with Sergeant Kendall Cash directly at 864-209-0582.

Our card this week is Dana Chisholm, the Jack of Diamonds from Washington, D.C.

I?ve been telling victims? stories for 6½ years now. I?ve been a consumer of them for even longer. And in all that time, few stories have haunted me the way Dana?s has. Her killer was bold, so confident police would never catch him, that he taunted them. And for nearly 30 years, he?s been able to get away with it. But I think that?s coming to an end. Because even though it seems like he tried to do everything he could to erase himself from Dana?s apartment and her life, it looks like he didn?t cover all his tracks. He may have just left something behind that could finally give him away.

If you have any information about the murder of Dana Chisholm in February of 1995 in Washington, D.C., please contact the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099, or remain anonymous by texting your tip to MPD?s Text Tip Line at 50411. There is a $25,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest and conviction in the homicide of Dana Chisholm.
 

Dana?s case is one we wanted you to see with your own eyes. So for the first time ever?.. we?re inviting you to watch this episode with us as a VIDEO! Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to see Dana Chisholm?s case unfold.

Our second card this week is Maria del Socorro Maldonado Ambriz, the Joker from Indiana.

Maria was spending what seemed like an average day with her two children when a masked intruder burst through the door and changed everyone in that home?s life. In just a matter of minutes, Maria, a single mom, was abducted and left for dead less than a mile from where her children were still hiding. It?s been two years, so the evidence is fresh and the leads are hot. But it?s going to take the right person coming forward to solve this case.

If you have any information about the murder of Maria del Socorro Maldonado Ambriz in 2022 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, please call the Fort Wayne Police Department Detective?s Bureau at 260-427-1201, or Crimestoppers at 260-436-STOP (7867).

Our first card this week is Sarah Neal, the 6 of Diamonds from Nebraska. 

16-year-old Sarah was not your typical teen. She was a multisport high school athlete who participated in basketball, softball, and track. She was a pretty darn good chess player, too.

But in June of 2005, somebody took all that Sarah loved away from her. And they took Sarah away from everyone who loved her. 19 years later, the police are still trying to catch her killer, and they need your help.

If you know anything about the murder of Sarah Neal in Omaha, Nebraska, on June 21, 2005, please call the Omaha, Nebraska Homicide Unit at 402-444-5656, or the Omaha Police Department at 402-444-3765. You can also anonymously report information to Omaha Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867, or on their website.

If you look at a picture of 25-year-old Domaine Richards, one thing stands out ? his smile. A smile that could be infectious, but all the light Domaine had to bring to the world was taken away in November of 2007, and almost 17 years later, while police have at least one suspect they've been circling, they still need help bringing Domaine's case to a close.

Our card this week is Joe Laughlin, the Jack of Diamonds from South Carolina.

54-year-old Joe was a true ?country guy",  living a simple life in Anderson, South Carolina in 2012. He was a husband, father, provider, and handyman. It didn?t take much to make him happy. All he needed in life was his family, his work shed, and an ice-cold beer. Why someone would want to gun him down inside his own home remains a mystery, even over a decade after his death. To this day, Joe?s widow has never remarried. She?s still living at their same little house, with Joe?s picture hanging up on the wall, waiting for the day when justice will finally prevail.

If you have any information about the murder of Joe Laughlin in Anderson, South Carolina in 2012, please call the Anderson County Sheriff?s Office at 864-260-4400, or you can speak with Sergeant Kendall Cash directly at 864-209-0582.

Our card this week is Bobby Ray Jones, the 8 of Clubs from Florida.

Bobby Ray Jones had just moved back to Walton County, Florida, in the late summer of 1971. It was a rebirth-of-sorts for this 33-year-old man. After getting caught up in a love affair and running off to Alabama, he had only recently returned to the sunshine state to try and reconcile with his wife. And seemingly, he was on track to do just that. He had already found a new job and a place to stay. Things were starting to turn around. So much so, that on September 29th, he even told his ?mama? she had no reason to worry about him? and that he didn?t have ?an enemy in the world.? But the very next morning, Bobby Ray was murdered? 

If you have any information about the death of Bobby Ray Jones in Darlington, FL, in 1971, please call the Walton County Sheriff?s Office at 850-892-8111, or remain anonymous by calling the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS (8477)

Our card this week is Linda "Lulu Ree" Ceasar, the 9 of Spades from Connecticut.

Linda "Lulu Ree" Ceasar's story is not all that different from so many others. She was a victim of her circumstances, and then she was a victim again when, in the summer of 1983, her life was taken in the most brutal of ways. Over 40 years later, the police still need help to close her case.

Ceasar, please contact the Hartford Police Department?s Major Crimes Division at 860-757-4000, or the Cold Case Tip Line at 860-722-TIPS (8477).

Since the release of CounterClock Season 1, Delia has received hundreds of requests from families of victims of violent crime. In November 2022, one message in her inbox stood out from the rest. It was from a middle-aged woman asking for Delia's help investigating the mysterious death of her 27-year-old brother from 1991. The message stood out for one big reason. The man's mangled body was found in an all-too familiar place to Delia. Eastern North Carolina.

33 years after Douglas Wagg, Jr. turned up on a lone stretch of railroad tracks in the middle of the night in rural Martin County, and over a year since Delia took on the case, the scope of what was really going on in the area during the 1990s has come into view. Who was Doug? How did he end up so far from home? Who was he last seen with? Was the train really what killed him? Why was his case never investigated?

The journey to find the answers to those questions has revealed a web of small town secrets that feel like fiction, except they're not. Over the course of the Season 6 investigation Delia has interviewed more than 45 people, spoken with convicted murderers in prison, and traced the origins of a disturbing pattern of behavior within local law enforcement that may have resulted in a decades-long cover up of multiple deaths. The investigation into what happened to Doug Wagg appears to be just the tip of a very large, very complicated iceberg that someone has worked hard to keep hidden for more than three decades.

Access to all episodes of CounterClock Season 6 is now available at the $10 and $20 tiers in the Crime Junkie Fan Club App.

Our card this week is Dorothy ?Dee" Scofield, the 4 of Hearts from Florida.

Ocala Police Chief Mike Balken was just a toddler when 12-year-old Dee Scofield disappeared from a local department store. When he was a teenager, he remembers his parents bringing up the missing little girl from his hometown. Later, as a dad, it would cause him to lie awake at night, worrying about his own daughter. And down the line, as a new detective, it would continue to haunt him when he began investigating the case for himself. And today? even as a Chief of the entire department? he won?t rest until he knows what happened to Dee Scofield.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Dorothy ?Dee? Scofield in 1976, please call Ocala Police Chief Mike Balken at 352-369-7000, or email [email protected].

A college campus in broad daylight in a town literally called ?Niceville? might be one of the last places you?d expect a young collegiate to disappear from, but in March 1973, that?s exactly what happened.

Our card this week is Kemberly Ramer, the 6 of Clubs from Florida.

In 1997, 17-year-old Kemberly Ramer had big goals of getting out of her small town. She made great grades, was a star athlete, and was well-liked by her peers. Heading into her senior year, she already had plans to go to college to become a physical therapist, and there was no question, she had the brains and the talent to do just that. It would take a thief, a monster in the middle of the night, to take that away from her. But that?s exactly what happened one August evening, and her mother thinks she knows the true identity of this so-far untraceable culprit.

When 23-year-old Rose Gayhart left Dansville, New York with her boyfriend for Cape Coral, Florida in December of 1984, she was looking for a fresh start. But as Rose hugged her sister goodbye on that cold December day, neither of them could have imagined that it would be the last hug they?d ever share? or that within 3 short months, Rose would be gone.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Rose Marie Gayhart, or the activities of Roland Davis in Florida in the mid-1980s, please contact the Cape Coral Police Department at (239) 574-3223.To apply for a Cold Case Playing Card grant through Season of Justice, please visit www.seasonofjustice.org

Our card this week is Roy Frisch, the 6 of Spades from Nevada.

Dubbed ?the most famous missing man in Nevada? by local press, Roy Frisch was a bright light during an otherwise dark, lawless time in 1930s Reno. Yes, you read that right?1930s. This is the oldest case we?ve covered so far on this show. Roy disappeared almost 90 years ago, so while it?s not possible to punish those responsible for his death, thanks to newfound permission from a property owner, there is now serious potential his remains could be recovered, and just maybe, Roy can finally rest in peace.

If you have any information about the disappearance and supposed murder of Roy Frisch in 1935, please contact the Reno Police Department?s Homicide Unit at (775) 334-2188, or you can anonymously report information by calling Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900. You can also visit Secret Witness on Reno PD?s website to submit a tip anonymously, or send an email to [email protected].

Our card this week is Charles and Jennifer Chia, the Jack of Diamonds from Nevada. 

Charles and Jennifer Chia could see their apartment complex from their school bus stop ? that?s how close to their building it was. Such a small distance for something to go so terribly wrong. But a couple hundred feet is all it took for someone to stop the Chia siblings from making it home safely. That person has gone undetected for more than 34 years. But present-day detectives say their days are now numbered, as new technology could soon expose this nameless predator.

 

If you know anything about the murders of Charles and Jennifer Chia, contact the Reno Police Department?s Homicide Unit at (775) 334-2188. You can also anonymously report information by calling Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.

Our card this week is Andrea Durham, the Ace of Clubs from Florida.

Revisiting a place that holds bad memories isn?t for the faint of heart. Just pulling up to a specific location can bring on anxiety about the past trauma that once took place there. Even decades later, that sinking feeling doesn?t go away. Until recently, Ashyea Durham Pugh hadn?t been back to the scene since that mostly blocked-out memory was her cruel reality. That night she and her mom returned home to their apartment to find that her little sister had vanished without a trace. And as the anniversary of that fateful February passes, her uneasiness grows. Because February 1st, 2024 has come and gone. No one has seen Andrea Durham in 34 years. And whoever took her could still be out there.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Andrea Durham, please contact Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-8477, or visit their website to submit a tip anonymously.

Our card this week is Belinda VanLith, the Queen of Hearts from Minnesota. This is part 2 of her story.  

Last week we walked through the initial investigation into the nearly 5-decade-old missing person case of 17-year-old Belinda VanLith. Despite her disappearance essentially being considered a runaway case by police initially, they had quickly come around to the possibility that perhaps Belinda had been met with foul play ? and there were some people close to the cabin she was last known to be at that were looking like promising suspects, but police never had enough evidence to move forward, and her case went cold for almost 3 decades.

Where we left off, investigators were 28 years into their investigation with little to show for it, when suddenly, in 2002, a relative came forward to police with a story they hadn?t heard before. And that?s where we?re picking up?

If you have any information about the disappearance or murder of Belinda VanLith in 1974, please call Crime Stoppers of Minnesota at 1-800-222-TIPS. You can also submit a tip online through Crime Stoppers.

Our card this week is Belinda VanLith, the Queen of Hearts from Minnesota. This is part 1 of her story.

Belinda?s story has held a special place in our hearts for a very long time. Back in August of 2022, her family reached out to the team here at audiochuck requesting we cover her case. We told Belinda?s family we?d try, and for months we did try ? we reached out to the investigating agency on multiple occasions, but we?ve still never heard back about an interview.

Thankfully, through a records request, we were eventually able to obtain hundreds and hundreds of pages of reports spanning the nearly 50 years since Belinda?s disappearance. Hopefully, by bringing her story to you, we can bring her some justice that she very much deserves.

If you have any information about the disappearance or murder of Belinda VanLith in 1974, please call Crime Stoppers of Minnesota at 1-800-222-TIPS. You can also submit a tip online through Crime Stoppers.

Deshawna was a bright, recent high-school graduate who was so excited for her future in nursing. She loved helping others, and she wanted to make it her career. But late one night in October 2001, someone saw to it that Deshawna would never have a chance to help anyone ever again.

If you know what Sam?s phone number or numbers were back in 2001, please contact the Dayton Cold Case Unit at (937) 333-7109, or you can submit a tip to the Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 1-800-637-5375.
