Audiochuck

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 Jason Vesper, the 10 of Diamonds from Nebraska.

The year 2008 had barely gotten started when 40-year-old Jason Vesper found himself in the middle of a family argument with his wife and teenage son. In the early hours of January 2nd, Jason left the family home in Scottsbluff to go for a short drive and blow off some steam. It was his MO when he needed to decompress. 

As Jason walked into the dark towards his pickup, with snow still lying thick on the ground, no one could have predicted the horror that would unfold over the next few minutes. Jason’s last moments were caught almost entirely on surveillance footage – except for a short window in which he was viciously and deliberately murdered. 

What exactly transpired between Jason and his killer during that period was never captured on film. Why did Jason become a target during a spur-of-the-moment drive? And was the killer – or killers – closer to home than anyone could have imagined? 

 • If you have any information, you can call the Scottsbluff Police Department at 
(308) 632 7867 • .

Jason Vesper (10 of Diamonds, Nebraska)

Our card this week is Janet Couture, the Jack of Diamonds from Connecticut.

In 1973, Janet Couture was murdered in her home, and for more than five decades the case remained unsolved. Despite years of investigation, the breakthrough came only in 2025, when a longtime suspect with a violent history was finally arrested.

Janet Couture (Jack of Diamonds, Connecticut)

Our card this week is Mason Worthington, the Wild Card from Virginia. 

In the early hours of December 30, 2018, deputies with the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office were called to the Penniman neighborhood of Williamsburg, initially for a report of shots fired.

Then, they were called again: A 20-year-old had been fatally shot in his home. They spend the next several days talking to Mason’s friends, searching for surveillance footage, and collecting evidence. 

Since then, investigators have canvassed the neighborhood, turning over every possible clue that might help piece together what happened on December 29, 2018. They believe they might be close to answers — as long as they’re able to track down the man who might know what happened. 

Anyone with information can call the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office at 757-890-3621or the Hampton Roads Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP (5625-887).

Mason Worthington (Wild Card, Virginia)

Our card this week is Jeffrey Dale Nichols, the 6 of Diamonds from Utah.

Early one June morning in 2004, Jeffrey Nichols told his girlfriend he was meeting his ex-wife in a shopping center parking lot to buy a set of golf clubs. But his ex-wife told police they were getting together at a McDonald's for a family meeting. No matter which version is true, one thing is for certain: After the morning of June 8th, 2004, Jeff was never seen again. And not only does his story include an honest-to-god, real-life burn book – we also found a clue that had been sitting in plain sight for the past 20 years that just might prove someone is lying

 • If you know anything about the disappearance of Jeffrey Dale Nichols, detectives want to hear from you. Please contact the Salt Lake City Police Department at 801-799-3000.

 * A previous version of this episode incorrectly stated the address of a parking lot. The correct address is 4500 South State Street.

Jeffrey Dale Nichols (6 of Diamonds, Utah)

Our card this week is Kenneth "Kenny" Floyd, a Wild Card from Colorado.

When Kenneth “Kenny” Floyd was found dead inside his apartment in Aurora, Colorado, in 1995, detectives found a clue they hoped would lead right to his killer — a trail of their suspect’s blood leading from Kenny’s door to the front of his building. That blood evidence allowed investigators to develop a DNA profile that they traced to one particular island in the Caribbean, bringing them closer than ever to finding answers for Kenny’s close-knit family. But a series of volcanic eruptions on the island destroyed the very records investigators needed to ID Kenny’s killer. Still, the genealogist working on Kenny’s case is hopeful that if more people with ancestry from that island, or the East Coast of the United States, upload their DNA profiles to GEDMatch and select the option to opt-in for law enforcement, she’ll be able to fill in the rest of the suspect’s family tree….and if she can do that, investigators might be able to finally close this case. 

 • If you have any information on the murder of Kenny Floyd, please contact Aurora Police Department Cold Case Detective Jason McDonald at 
303-739-6013 • or 
jamcdona@auroragov.org • . You can also submit an anonymous tip to the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers by calling 
720-913-7867 • . 

 • If you have any family from the island of Montserrat or the East Coast of the United States, please consider uploading your DNA profile to GEDMatch and selecting the option to opt-in for law enforcement. If anyone you know might have ancestry connected to that island or the eastern U.S., please tell them about Kenny’s case and encourage them to upload their DNA and opt-in as well.

Kenneth "Kenny" Floyd (Wild Card, Colorado)

Our card this week is Lois West, the Ace of Hearts from Virginia. 

One morning in August 1986, a contractor showed up to work on the floors in a vacant house in Williamsburg, Virginia. When he arrived, he found a woman on her side in the mostly-full bathtub. In her wake were a trail of clues: a U.S. Army class ring, a mysterious hat with feathers, and sightings in what were likely her final hours. 

Still, investigators have evidence on file from 1986 that may help solve the case. 

 • Anyone with information can call the James City County Police Department at 
757-253-1800 • or the Hampton Roads Crime Line at 
1-888-LOCK-U-UP • .

Lois West (Ace of Hearts, Virginia)

Our card this week is Daphne Hope, the 8 of Spades from Colorado. 

In the summer of 2001, Daphne Hope vanished… and for over seven long years, her case disappeared into the reams of files at the Denver Police Department. And even when new detectives did start digging, no one has been able to piece together exactly what happened to Daphne. Over the years, theories about her disappearance have varied wildly – from sex work and drug deals to a serial killer. There was even speculation that Daphne wasn’t missing at all, that she was hiding in protective custody. And then there’s the man she lived with at the time – what might he know about her disappearance? 

 • If you have any information about the disappearance of Daphne Hope in August of 2001, please get in touch with Detective Jason McDonald of the Aurora Police Department at 
303-739-6013 • , or you can email him at: 
jamcdona@auroragov.org

Daphne Hope (8 of Spades, Colorado)

Our cards this week are Ronda Taylor and Bonnie Ryther, the King of Clubs and 9 of Diamonds from Florida. 

There is a man serving a life sentence in a Florida prison for his part in the 1989 murder of a 29-year-old pregnant woman named Donna Callahan. Two brothers were ultimately convicted for her abduction – and each of them pointed to the other as the ultimate preparator. But only one of them would go on to confess to over a dozen other murders. That man is now considered, by some, to be one of the deadliest killers on Florida’s Gulf Coast. And if his original confessions are to be believed, then not one, but two Fort Walton Beach cases could be closed. Right now, one detective is making it his mission to find out once and for all: Can he prove Mark Riebe is the serial killer everyone thinks he is? And was he–or someone else entirely–responsible for the murders of Ronda Taylor and Bonnie Ryther? 

 • If you know anything about the murders of Ronda Taylor or Bonnie Ryther in Florida’s Gulf Coast, you can contact Detective Wilson directly at 
850-797-2458 • . You can also call the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 
850-863-TIPS • .

Ronda Taylor and Bonnie Ryther (the King of Clubs and 9 of Diamonds, Florida)

In September 1980, a Holiday Inn hotel in rural Iowa became the scene of a shocking double murder: a couple was found dead in their hotel bed, covered in lacerations. And the scene around them is one of the strangest and most puzzling I’ve ever come across in all my work. It’s one of the reasons this case has gained notoriety over time: I mean, to this day, the hotel where the couple lost their lives is still visited by true crime fanatics.

Despite multiple suspects – and three agencies contributing to the investigation – no one has ever been arrested or charged in connection with Rose and Roger’s deaths.

But… we have an exclusive update – something is about to happen in the Rose and Roger case that just might solve this nearly 50-year-old mystery. 

 • If you have any information about the murders of Roger Atkison and Rose Burkert, you can call the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office at 
319-642-7307 • .

Rose Burkert and Roger Atkison (9 of Diamonds, Iowa)

Our card this week is Tangie Sims, the 9 of Diamonds from Colorado.

When a young woman was found brutally murdered in an Aurora, Colorado alleyway in October 1996, one eagle-eyed detective zeroed in on forensic evidence he hoped would lead him to her killer. But one by one, that evidence ruled out every person they thought may have killed 25-year-old Tangie Sims and eventually her case went cold. And it stayed cold until new detectives revisited old evidence with new technology, took a look at one particular family tree and finally found who they’d been looking for. 

 • If you or someone you know is looking for answers in an unsolved case and think there might be a connection to Tangie Sims’ case, contact Aurora Police Department Cold Case Detective Jason McDonald by phone at 
303-739-6013 • or by email 
jamcdona@auroragov.org • . You can also submit an anonymous tip to the the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers by calling 
720-913-7867 • .
