Our card this week is Rachel Anthony, the 5 of Spades from Minnesota.

In 2001, 50-year-old Rachel was going about her nightly routine, closing the small-town liquor store, when she suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving behind no clues. A gruesome discovery 6 weeks later would answer some of the questions she left behind, but not the most pressing: who did it and why?

If you know anything about the murder of Rachel Anthony in February of 2001 — or if you were that last customer in Ultimate Liquors at 9:57 p.m. — please come forward. You can reach the Cass County Sheriff’s Office at (218) 547-1424 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. You could be eligible for a $50,000 reward.

Our card this week is Craig Frear, the Queen of Hearts from New York.

Our card this week is Mary and Susanne Reker, the 2 of Hearts from Minnesota. 

On Labor Day of 1974, less than 24 hours before 15-year-old Mary was to start her sophomore year of high school, she told her parents she needed to make a quick shopping trip to pick up some last-minute school supplies and a winter coat. Her younger sister, 12-year-old Susanne, tagged along and they waved goodbye to their father, who was painting the exterior of the house when they left. On a day so ordinary, it never crossed his mind that that would be the last time he’d see his two daughters alive. 

There is a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the murders of Mary and Susanne Reker. To submit a tip please visit here or scan the QR code below.

If you have any information on the location of Samantha or about the murder of Christine Tortoro in the early morning hours of August 26th, 1988, please call the Connecticut Cold Case Tip Line at 1-866-623-8058, or you can email tips to [email protected].

Our card this week is Renee McBreen, the 2 of Spades from Florida.

When Renee was 22 years old, her main goal was to provide a good life for her son Caleb. But in September 1992, Renee was attacked in her Jacksonville, Florida, home after hosting Caleb’s 3rd birthday party. While Renee’s killer spared Caleb’s life, their actions took away the person who loved him most and shattered his sense of safety and belonging for years to come.

Today, a cold case detective is renewing the push for answers in Renee’s murder, hoping to finally repair some of the damage that was done over 30 years ago.

If you know anything about Caleb’s birthday party or the reported trip to Dunkin Donuts that Renee and Caleb might’ve taken just before Renee’s murder, or anything else about the 1992 murder of Renee McBreen, please call the Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500 and ask for Detective Ray Reeves.

Our card this week is Elizabeth Miller, the 7 of Hearts from Connecticut. 

In the summer of 1994, Elizabeth’s body was found outside of an abandoned building in an area rife with crime. As the years went by, investigators never uncovered any solid leads… until a pattern of brutal murders began to emerge in the area, leading them to suspect there’s more to her story than meets the eye.

If you have any information about the murder of Elizabeth Miller in June 1994, or the murders of Rosalind Casey and LaDawn Roberts also in Hartford in June of 2000 and 1999 respectively, please contact the Connecticut cold case tip line at 866-623-8058 or email tips to [email protected]
