For years, some law enforcement agencies have replaced the faces of traditional playing card decks with images of missing and murdered people and distributed those cards in prisons hoping inmates would come forward with information needed to crack these cold cases wide open. 

Now, audiochuck is dealing you in. 

Each week, we will be working with investigators and family members to bring you the details of some of the coldest cases from around the country in hopes that someone listening can finally bring these victims the justice they deserve.

The Deck

Our card this week is Jaklyn Baccoli, the 5 of Clubs from New York.

When demolition workers entered a vacant home in Rochester, New York, they expected asbestos—not a crime scene. But hidden inside was the body of 44-year-old Jaklyn Baccoli, a woman whose final moments were marked by unimaginable violence. As detectives dug into her life and the days leading up to her death, they uncovered a tangled web of addiction, survival, and street rumors—and a potential suspect with a story full of holes. But what they don’t have is enough to close the case. And someone out there still knows the truth.

 • If you know anything about the murder of Jaklyn Baccoli, please 
call • Rochester Police Department’s 
major crimes unit • at 
585-428-7157 • or email them at 
MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov • . You can also call 
Crime Stoppers • at 
585-423-9300 • or submit a tip online

Jaklyn Baccoli (5 of Clubs, New York)

Our card this week is Valaine Briggs, the Ace of Spades from Utah.

When 19-year-old Valaine left her Salt Lake City apartment and walked to class one spring morning in 1977, her carefully planned future was full of promise. And though she was in a time of transition and had recently ended an engagement, Valaine knew even this temporary disappointment just brought her closer to the life she dreamed of…a life full of family and rooted in faith…a life her ex-fiancé couldn’t give her.

What Valaine didn’t know that morning…what she couldn’t have known…was that the postcard-perfect future she envisioned for herself would be stolen from her in the cruelest of ways.

 • If you know anything about the murder of Valaine Briggs in Salt Lake City, Utah, in May of 1977, please call Unified Police Detective Ben Pender at 
385-468-9816 • .

REMEMBERING: Valaine Briggs (Ace of Spades, Utah)

Our card this week is Andrew Moore, the 6 of Clubs from California. 

This week marks the 25th anniversary of Andrew “Andy” Moore's murder.

26-year-old Andy was killed in September 2000 while sleeping in his San Diego, California, apartment. The scene left behind was confounding to detectives; the weapons are missing, odd items displaced but not taken, and the one thing "stolen" from Andy shows up not too far away from the crime scene a month later. So what was the motive? Who would want to kill this fun-loving young man? And did a hidden passage in his apartment building allow his murderer to escape unnoticed?Although his cold case has remained a mystery almost as long as Andy had been alive, a new detective believes they could be close to a break, thanks to new technology. Listen to the first-ever in-depth coverage of Andy Moore's case only on The Deck!

 • If you have any information about the murder of Andrew “Andy” Moore in San Diego, California, in September 2000, please contact the San Diego Police Homicide unit at 
619-531-2293 • ; or you can call Detective Tracey Barr’s desk phone at 
619-430-0134 • . You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of San Diego at 
888-580-8477 • or 
submit your tip online • . There’s a $56K reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction.

Andrew Moore (6 of Clubs, California)

Our card this week is Patricia Allen, the Queen of Hearts from Washington.

On October 3, 1995, Patricia Allen was asleep on her couch when she was stabbed once so precisely that it nearly cut her heart in half. So begins one of the most mysterious homicide cases out of Yakima, Washington. With no shortage of suspects – including a woman who some believe wanted to become Patty – this case is truly stranger than fiction. 

 • Or, if you have any information at all about the October 3, 1995, murder of Patricia Allen, please email the Yakima Cold Case Unit at 
ypdcoldcase@yakimawa.gov • . You can also submit an anonymous tip through CrimeStoppers of Yakima County at

Patricia Allen (Queen of Hearts, Washington)

Our card this week is Jodine Serrin, the 7 of Diamonds from California.

In 1995, Marisa Patti met David Mabrito on the beach in Oceanside, California – it was love at first sight. Twenty-three years later, he would be found responsible for the brutal murder and desecration of 39-year-old Jodine Serrin in her own bedroom. 

In the wake of the solve, Marisa and her son were left on their own to figure out how this man they loved, trusted, and built a life with could have committed such an unthinkable crime. Today, they’re still trying to make sense of it all. Marisa’s story is one we rarely get in true crime: a raw, unflinching look at what it means to live in the aftermath – not just for victims' families, but for the ones closest to the killer.

 • On Crime Junkie we walked through every detail of Jodine Serrin’s case that led police to her killer: David Mabrito. Make sure you’ve listened to that episode, 
MURDERED: Jodine Serrin - Part 1 • , before you start this one.

Call to action:

 • The biggest limitation in investigative genetic genealogy 
isn’t • the science or even the know-how. It’s the databases. You can help solve a cold case if you are willing and able to share your DNA to public databases like GEDmatch or FamilyTreeDNA. It only takes a couple of steps, and it’s completely free. Follow the steps linked 
here • to get started.
 • If you find yourself facing similarly unique and harrowing challenges as Marisa and her son, and you feel comfortable sharing your story and the community services you found helpful, if any, please email us at 
connect@audiochuck.com • .
 • If you or someone you know is in crisis or feeling suicidal, please reach out for help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (
1-800-273-8255 • ), where trained counselors are available 24/7 to provide support.

Jodine Serrin (7 of Diamonds, California) - Part 2

Our card this week is Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez, the Wild Card from Texas.

Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez walked out of the duplex she shared with her family in Odessa, Texas, on Aug. 2, 1985, and seemingly vanished without a trace. Her sister-in-law watched Mary head in the direction of a local bar after fighting with her husband, who they knew as Arnuldo Mendez. Mary had asked her sister-in-law to watch her 5-year-old daughter, Virginia, while she went out, but she never came home. For nearly 40 years, her family wondered whether she’d walked away from her life and children…or if something bad had happened to her. It wasn’t until a young cold case detective stumbled across her long-lost case file and started digging that clues in a decades-old mystery started to be unearthed. 

 • If you know anything about the death of Mary Mendez, contact Det. Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or to submit a tip anonymously through Odessa Crime Stoppers, call 432-333-8477 or visit 
333tips.org • and reference case number 84-7988.

Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez (Wild Card, Texas)

Our card this week is Lawrence Riegel, the 5 of Spades from Washington.

When Lawrence was reported missing on January 10th, 2010, he didn’t exactly vanish without a trace. Between mysterious phone records and strange theories from a recluse who lived in an isolated trailer park , police had a good idea what his last movements were and with whom he interreacted – and specifically, they honed in on two people who seemed very suspicious in the wake of his disappearance. But they need more than suspicions to make their case. And detectives are sure that someone out there knows what happened to the man they still call “Lost Larry.” 

 • If you know something about the disappearance of Lawrence Riegel, you can call the Yakima Police Department at 
509-575-6200 • . If you want to leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers, you can call 
1-800-222-8477 • .

Lawrence Riegel (5 of Spades, Washington)

Our card this week is Gregory Fickess, the Jack of Diamonds from New York. 

On a summer night in 1993, 19-year-old Gregory Fickess had just gotten out of his car in downtown Rochester when he was jumped in a seemingly unprovoked, fatal act of violence. A case with no motive and few cooperating witnesses is tough to get very far. But when detectives find out that one of the few cooperating witnesses they did have dies… suddenly… and under strange circumstances… it seems like one more sign that the theory they do have might be right. And they just need a little help from you getting this over the finish line after three decades.

 • If you know anything about the murder of Gregory Fickess, you can call the Rochester Police Department at 
585-428-7033 • . If you prefer to leave an anonymous tip, you can call Rochester Area Crime Stoppers at 
585-423-9300 • .

Gregory Fickess (Jack of Diamonds, New York)

Our card this week is Jonathan Garcia-Valladares, the 7 of Diamonds from Arizona.

Being a 13-year-old kid can be tough, to say the least. But it seemed as if Jonathan Garcia-Valladares had it figured out. He was an overachieving student. He was a chess player. And on a crisp fall day in 2010, Jonathan was trying to get in shape for the football team, a sport he’d just joined. But on that day, his short life would come to an end. 

In the 15 years since, law enforcement is still trying to uncover why, and, most importantly… who would do this to an innocent young kid who had his entire life ahead of him. 

 • If you have any information about the murder of Jonathan Garcia-Valladares in Phoenix, Arizona, on November 7th, 2010, please contact Detective Roestenberg or anyone at the 
Phoenix Police Department • during the day at 
602-495-5883, • and at night, you can call 
602-262-6141 • . You can remain anonymous by contacting the Silent Witness program at 
480-948-6377 • or toll-free at

Jonathan Garcia-Valladares (7 of Diamonds, Arizona)

Our card this week is Robert Gene Jones, the 10 of Diamonds from Louisiana. 

Robert was known as a quiet man who stayed out of trouble, so when he was found shot to death in his home one morning in the winter of 2002, police were initially stumped when it came to both motive and culprit. That might’ve been because Robert was never the intended target in what’s now become a mystery that investigators hope one of you may hold the key to solving.

If you or anyone you know has information that can help bring closure to Robert Gene Jones’ case, you can make an anonymous call to Caddo-Shreveport Crime Stoppers at (318) 673-7373. You can also submit a tip by visiting their website.

Robert Gene Jones (10 of Diamonds, Louisiana)

Our card this week is Aaron "Peanut" Lamont Smalls, the Ace of Spades from Virginia. 

Aaron Lamont Smalls, also known as Peanut, was only 25 years old when his body was found in York County, Virginia, in 2001. In the search for his killer, investigators uncovered several key pieces of evidence and received a mountain of tips. But despite their efforts, the case slowly turned cold. 

Now, 20 years later, investigators and Peanut’s family still have hope that the case will one day be solved. So if you have any information about his murder, please call the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office at 757-890-4999.
