    Remembering Rizza

    Remembering Rizza

    Let us know what you think about the episode
    On a Friday night in June 2023, Rizza Abrera was sitting in the nail salon she owned, getting her nails done. Her ex-boyfriend, a man who had raised many red flags for her family, burst in, grabbed Rizza by the forearm, and dragged her outside. 
    Several witnesses tried to stop him, but he pulled out a gun, threw Rizza into his SUV, and sped away, barricading himself in his Southwest Valley home with two other women, and their 3-year-old daughter.

    Las Vegas Metro’s SWAT team negotiated with him for hours before they finally went in. When they did, they discovered the unthinkable inside his home.

    Trace Evidence - Solving Stephanie's Murder

    Trace Evidence - Solving Stephanie's Murder

    Let us know what you think about the episode
    Stephanie Isaacson was finishing up her freshman year at El Dorado High School in Las Vegas back on June 1st, 1989. She walked to school, just like she did every day, walking up Stewart Avenue, then taking a left on Linn Lane. She often took a shortcut through a desert area, and June 1st was no exception. 
    Stephanie never made it to school that day. In the wake of her murder, despite a vigorous investigation, the case soon went cold. It would be nearly 32 years before her family got the answers they deserved.

    Trace Evidence - Solving Stephanie's Murder - Swing Shift (Bonus)

    In this Swing Shift bonus episode we take you behind the scenes right after we recorded episode 24 about Stephanie Isaacson's murder, and the insanely long time it took to identify her murderer. While the murderer isn't around to pay the price for his horrific crimes, there's some solace in identifying who he was.

Lesser-known cases and important coverage

This is such a good podcast! Soothing voices, detailed information, and important information (e.g. stalker awareness)/ lesser-known cases— what more could you ask for?!?! Much love from your fellow podcasters at Coffee and Cases

PodcastJunkie25 ,

Intro.

I don’t get the intro. “I’m the only John in the room.”? Is he alluding to all the “Johns” in Vegas? Regardless, it is tasteless and crass. How about they omit the entire “John” bit?

Joeyman3181 ,

Solid True Crime

Really great new podcast for true crime folks out there. I enjoy the format and love hearing these two get more comfortable with the show as it progresses episode by episode.
