The Deck

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.

    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.   View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/tonya-teske-2 Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.

    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.   View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/nefertiri-neffie-trader Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.

    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.

    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.    View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/jason-vesper Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.

    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).    View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/mason-worthington Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.
