Episode 19

The Murder of Wendy Madden

Wendy Madden was 23 years old when she was murdered and left behind a now-demolished little neighborhood bar.

Can you help cold case investigators bring her killer to justice?

Why would anyone want to hurt this beautiful young woman?

Join us as we head North on I-95, up to Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

We're going to pull off on Exit 30.

On March 11th, 1991, Wendy set out to walk to the store on a cold Monday night. She said she was going to get cigarettes from a place called Store 24, which is now called ABC Liquors. She was last seen near the intersection of Rail Road Street and Cross Street.

Wendy's body was found on March 13th behind Jan's Place, a bar which has now been torn down and is just a grassy lot, dedicated to storing somebody's covered RV.

Wendy has not had justice for 27 years. She would be old enough to have grandkids right now. She has missed out on so many of life's joys. 

Detective Cormier has come so far in her search, from digging out old undeveloped negatives to getting samples tested for DNA. Let's do what we can to help her finish the job.

 Check out our websitecaseacquaint.com for more pictures and info about this case.

Police feel they are close to being able to charge the person responsible for this heinous act.

Do you know what happened to Wendy Madden? If so, let the Pawtucket Police Department know by calling, emailing, or visiting the facebook page the detective in charge has created for anonymous tips! 401-727-9100 ext. 756, [email protected], or https://www.facebook.com/wendy.madden.372

Please share this episode on your social media to bring justice for Wendy! We are on all major podcast platforms.

Episode 17

The murders of Emily Quijano

and

Gabriel Almiron

September 8th, 2015 was a normal day in Orem, Utah except for one thing. That was last anyone ever saw or heard from Emily Quijano or her young son, Gabriel Almiron. Emily's boyfriend, Christopher Poulson told police and anyone else who would listen that he had to kick Emily out because he couldn't tolerate her use of drugs in their shared apartment. 

That might have been the end of this missing persons story if it had only been Emily who was missing, but cops had a three year old child to find. That all but assured a criminal investigation and the involvement of the FBI. 

This case has not yet been completed. Let us know what you think! Have authorities found their killer? Where are the bodies of Emily and Gabriel?

Maria Ridulph

December 3rd, 1957

This is the story of the abduction and murder of little Maria Ridulph from her neighborhood street in Sycamore, Illinois.

Who took Maria?

Many people have been suspected, one person was convicted, declared innocent, and is currently in the process of collecting money from anyone associated with the conviction.

Throughout it all, Maria's family bore the constant turmoil of forces beyond their control. It's been over 60 years since Maria was taken and killed. Will anyone ever be brought to justice?

How would YOU cope if you were the victim of sexual abuse as a child or if your family member was taken killed and thrown away like garbage?

What would you need to do in order to go on?

Find out how these folks have found their own ways to survive and live, despite the horrendous tragedies they endured.

Who do you think killed Maria?

Let us know.

Dylan Redwine

Find Me Group

UDs on

Natalie White

and

Kimberlee Graves

This episode contains brief updates on Natalie White and Kimberlee Graves before we move on to the main subject, Dylan Redwine and the efforts made to find him.

Dylan Redwine and his father, Mark Redwine, had a strained relationship. What could possibly drive a man to allegedly murder his own son? Is any length too extreme when searching for a missing child? What about a missing adult?  

Special thanks to Kelly Snyder, founder of the Find Me Group. Check them out at findmegroup.org and their partners in the search for Dylan, Arizona Search Track and Rescue at azstar.org

We will be posting a BONUS episode soon with more from Kelly with Find Me Group. In it, he describes new artificial intelligence technology currently in development which will add even more resources for law enforcement and families of the missing and murdered, and he also provides some advice from the perspective of not only a former federal law enforcement agent, but also from that of someone who has spent the last almost two decades concentrating on finding the missing and supporting the desired end result: justice.
