    Jimmy “Jamie” Riddle (9 of Diamonds, North Carolina)

    In the fall of 1991, just as the season was starting to change, a couple fishing at sunrise at a small lake in Fayetteville, North Carolina, noticed something floating near the surface of the water. At first, they thought it was a blow-up doll. But upon closer inspection,  the couple saw hair on the legs and realized it wasn’t a doll. It was a human being—a person who would be identified as 24-year-old Jimmy Riddle. 

    Jimmy was also known to some of their friends as Jamie, but how much their identity played into their death isn’t clear. What the police have to go on are potential witness statements, items left at the crime scene, and maybe, just maybe, DNA. 

    Nearly 35 years after Riddle’s killing, there’s a new detective on the case…a detective determined to unearth the answers once and for all. 

    • If you know anything about the murder of Jimmy or Jamie Riddle in Fayetteville, North Carolina, please call the  Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1529. You can also call Fayetteville/Cumberland County Crime Stoppers with tips at 910-483-8477. Anonymous tips for an open/unsolved case through Fayetteville/Cumberland County Crimestoppers could receive up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest.

    Please note: While writing this episode, our team worked with trans sensitivity readers and editors to ensure that we address Riddle's episode and this topic with respect.

    Tonya Teske (The 2 of Spades, Idaho)

    Our card this week is Tonya Teske, the 2 of Spades from Idaho.

    This week, we’re resurfacing an important old episode for you because we just learned more information about a person of interest who’s never been ruled out. His name is Mark Douglas Burns, and he's a terrifying individual. He came up in a Crime Junkie episode we dropped in the fan club in which Burns confessed to murdering a young mom in her home back in 2001. And the overlaps between him and Tonya’s last known movements cannot be ignored. 

    Re-listen to today's episode closely... and then go check out the episode on Sue Gunderson Higgins in the Crime Junkie Fan club and tell me what you think. Could Mark be the missing link?

    Tonya Teske was a free-spirited 18-year-old who chose to live her life on the open road by hitchhiking around the mountain west. On August 13, 1997, she was last seen in Montana at a truck stop before her body was discovered two days later on the side of a highway in Idaho.

    • If you have any information about Tonya’s murder, you’re asked to call the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office at 208-529-1200.
    • To listen to the Crime Junkie episode we mentioned on Sue Gunderson Higgins, join the Fan Club.

    Nefertiri “Neffie” Trader (Queen of Hearts, Delaware)

    Our card this week is Nefertiri "Neffie" Trader, the Queen of Hearts from Delaware.

    In the early hours of June 30th, 2014, 33-year-old Nefertiri, who went by “Neffie”, was kidnapped from her own front yard. In the dark, she was dragged into her car, away from the townhome she shared with her mom and three children.

    Even though Neffie’s kidnapping was witnessed, it would be almost nineteen hours before police learned that Neffie was missing. After an investigation failed to find out what happened to Neffie, a Delaware court declared her legally dead. But her body has still never been found. 

    Could the identity of Neffie’s kidnapper lie with friends she saw hours before she vanished? 

    Or is the suspect a convicted killer out for revenge?

    • If you have any information about the disappearance of Nefertiri Trader, you can contact the New Castle County Police Department at their non-emergency number, which is 302-573-2800. Or you can call Crimestoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

    Lindsay Wells (King of Diamonds, California)

    In March 1999, 22-year-old Lindsay Wells was reported missing from her Simi Valley home, where she lived with her fiancé and his mother. Since she was reported missing, police have fielded sightings of Lindsay near a Simi Valley 7-Eleven, buying a train ticket headed to Tijuana, and at Disneyland, but these tips never yielded a lead. Since then, the case developments have included work with a psychic medium, an undercover wire operation, and searches with cadaver dogs. Lindsay remains missing. 

    • Anyone with information can call the Simi Valley Police Department’s tip line at 805-583-6911.

    Special thanks to Allison DuBois and her podcast, The Dead Life.

    REMEMBERING: Marjorie "Christy" Luna (4 of Spades, Florida)

    Our card this week is Marjorie "Christy" Lunda, the 4 of Spades from Florida. 

    In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we are sharing the story of Marjorie “Christy” Luna to honor her life and amplify the voices of survivors.

    From the outside, Greenacres seemed like a picture-perfect place to grow up — where kids roamed barefoot between the park, school, and corner store. But beneath that storybook setting, something darker was unfolding, and it came to a head one May evening in 1984 when Christy disappeared.

    More than 40 years later, her friends are revisiting their childhood memories, uncovering how abuse and violence can exist in plain sight — often hidden or left unspoken.

    By sharing Christy’s story during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we hope to raise awareness, support survivors, and remind others that their voices matter.

    • If you or someone you know is a survivor of sexual assault, you can find confidential support at RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline. You can chat with them online, call 1-800-656-4673, or text HOPE to 64673.
    • If you know anything about the disappearance of Marjorie “Christy” Luna in Greenacres, Florida, on May 27th, 1984, the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, please come forward. And if you had encounters with anyone named in the episode, or even similar encounters as described with men you didn’t know, detectives want to hear from you, too. Perhaps you hold the missing piece to solving this mystery and putting a terrible person behind bars for whatever life they have left. You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County at 1-800-458-8477.
    • Ways to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office directly: Main Line: 561-688-3000. Detective William Springer’s Email: [email protected]

    Jason Vesper (10 of Diamonds, Nebraska)

    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.

    Janet Couture (Jack of Diamonds, Connecticut)

    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.

    • If you have any information about other crimes George Legere may have been involved in, or believe you were a victim of him, contact Detective Christina Johnston of the East Hartford Police Department at 860-528-4401, or if you would like to remain anonymous, call 860-289-9134.

    Mason Worthington (Wild Card, Virginia)

    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).

    Jeffrey Dale Nichols (6 of Diamonds, Utah)

    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.

    Kenneth "Kenny" Floyd (Wild Card, Colorado)

    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 [email protected]. 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.
