On the evening of September 25, 1966, Jerry Bricca, a 28-year-old chemical engineer, got home from work and took his trash cans out to the curb. Joan Janszen, who lived across the street, said hello to him and they exchanged some friendly small talk. Then he went inside. This was the last time that any member of the Bricca family was seen alive.

Join us at the quiet end for Unsolved: The Bricca Family Murders. What happened to Jerry Bricca, his wife Linda, and their four-year-old daughter, Debbie, after Jerry went into his house that night 57 years ago, remains a mystery. On September 27, two days after Jerry was last seen, the bodies of Jerry, Linda, and Debbie were discovered. All three had been stabbed to death. Today we’re discussing various theories of the case, including the suggestion of a love triangle that ended in murder and a possible connection to a friend of Linda’s who was murdered that summer.
