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 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

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)

Maurice – or Melissa, as they sometimes introduced themselves – was 22 when they were shot and killed in Phoenix, Arizona. They were just starting to build a name for themselves as a performer, making it to the regional final for American Idol and acting in dozens of local productions, including The Wiz, Westside Story, and Alice in Wonderland. But the curtain fell too soon…

According to friends and family, gender identity was fluid for Maurice. They sometimes presented as femme and went by Melissa, as they did the night of the shooting. This led both LGBTQ+ activists and local officials to fear that maybe this was a hate crime. Maybe… But investigators have struggled to pin down a definitive motive – and the killer.

 • If you have any information at all about the murder of Maurice Dupree Green, also known as Melissa, in March of 2006, please come forward. You can reach Detective Roestenberg directly at 
602-534-5920 • or the Phoenix Police Department at 
602-262-6151 • . And if you’d prefer to remain anonymous, you can also call the Silent Witness tip line at 
480-948-6377 • .
 • If you or someone you know is affected by anti-LGBTQ+ violence or in need of support, you are not alone–help is available. For immediate crisis support, The Trevor Project offers 24/7 assistance for LGBTQ+ youth at

Maurice (Melissa) Dupree Green (Ace of Spades, Arizona)

Our card this week is Roger "Unkle Rog" McCall, the 2 of Spades from New York. 

If you lived in the Rochester area back in the day, you might recognize the smooth voice of “Unkle Rog.” As a late-night radio host and DJ at WCMF for almost 30 years, perhaps he kept you company past midnight, maybe helped you stay awake during a third shift. By 52, Roger had already survived a terminal cancer diagnosis, only to be gunned down on December 12th, 2003, in what, at first, seemed to be a random act of violence. But a potential witness in the case has raised the possibility that his murder may’ve been more personal than previously assumed.

 • If you have any information about the murder of Roger McCall on December 12th, 2003, detectives want to hear from you. Although we were asked to use pseudonyms for persons of interest in this episode, if any of the details or storylines sounded familiar to you, or if you can corroborate “Dan’s” statement about what he said he saw that night, please reach out. You can remain anonymous by contacting Rochester Crime Stoppers at 
(585) 423-9300 • or by submitting a tip 
online • .
 • To contact the Rochester PD’s Major Crimes Unit directly, you can call them at 
(585) 428-7157 • or email them at 
MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov • .

Roger "Unkle Rog" McCall (2 of Spades, New York)

Our card this week is Blanca Acevedo, the 7 of Clubs from Arizona. 

In June 2010, 50-year-old Blanca Acevedo was navigating a life of quiet chaos when she was found murdered in a building set aflame. The brutal case of overkill quickly went cold for the detectives on the case… But could a letter found on Blanca’s bedside table have held the key to finding her killer all along? It’s one of several clues new investigators are chasing down to solve this 15-year-old murder.

If you have any information about the murder of Blanca Acevedo, please call 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377) to leave an anonymous tip. The Phoenix Police Department asks that you leave as much information as possible to help solve Blanca’s murder.

Blanca Acevedo (7 of Clubs, Arizona)

Our card this week is Luther Meshell, the 9 of Hearts from Louisiana. 

On a mild spring night in 1991, Luther’s teenage son found him lying dead on his bedroom floor next to his overturned wheelchair and a knife. With a locked door and no signs of forced entry, police believe his killer could have been someone he knew and trusted… but when they zoom out, investigators notice a series of other crimes with eerie similarities… and they begin to consider whether a serial killer could be to blame.

 • Anyone with information on who is responsible for the death of Luther Meshell is urged to contact the Shreveport Police Department by calling 
318-673-7300 • and asking for someone in investigations or by emailing the Assistant Chief of Police in the Investigations Division at 
Steve.Pfender@shreveportla.gov • .

Luther Meshell (9 of Hearts, Louisiana)

Our card this week is Carmen "CJ" DeLuca, the Wild Card from Connecticut. 

When a man stopped to get gas in the middle of the night in 1985, he had no idea he was walking into the scene of a murder. The 23-year-old gas station attendant, Carmen “CJ” DeLuca, had been shot to death for seemingly no reason. But with no witnesses and no clear motive, police had no idea who killed him. He was a good guy with no known enemies, engaged to the love of his life, and planning a wedding that would never happen. It wasn’t until another customer walked into another gas station to get his morning coffee…and found another attendant shot that investigators were able to hone in on some suspects. Because their second victim was alive, he got a clear look at the man who shot him. But 40 years later, investigators haven’t been able to identify the shooter. They think they’re close, but time is running out as evidence, suspects, and memories are lost to time. They need someone to come forward and confirm their suspicions to get justice for CJ, his fiancé, and the life they never got to have together. 

 • If you have any information on the death of Carmen “CJ” DeLuca, please contact the Connecticut Cold Case Unit at 
1-866-623-8058 • or email 
cold.case@ct.gov • .

Our cards this week are Michael Adams, Lachelle Powell, Michael Royal, and Jennifer Leasure, the 9, 10, Jack, and Queen of Hearts from New York. 

In the dead of winter, a fire consumed a home in Rochester, New York — but what firefighters discovered inside wasn’t an accident.

The Leighton Avenue Killings (9, 10, Jack, and Queen of Hearts, New York)

Our card this week is Sharon Glover, the 6 of Spades from Louisiana. 

Early on November 14, 1993, just two weeks before Thanksgiving, Sharon Glover was found viciously stabbed to death on a rural backroad in northwest Louisiana. Rumors led Sharon’s family to believe the killer was someone close to them. But detectives are now releasing new information in this case for the first time, and they believe there’s been a different prime suspect lurking in the background of this investigation for decades. 

 • If you have any information on the murder of Sharon Glover, Det. Jackson urges you to reach out to him directly at 
(318) 681-0705 • . You can also submit a tip anonymously through 
Crimestoppers • .
