The Deck

Our card this week is Andrew Moore, the 6 of Clubs from California. This week marks the 25th anniversary of Andrew “Andy” Moore's murder.26-year-old Andy was killed in September 2000 while sleeping in his San Diego, California, apartment. The scene left behind was confounding to detectives; the weapons are missing, odd items displaced but not taken, and the one thing "stolen" from Andy shows up not too far away from the crime scene a month later. So what was the motive? Who would want to kill this fun-loving young man? And did a hidden passage in his apartment building allow his murderer to escape unnoticed?Although his cold case has remained a mystery almost as long as Andy had been alive, a new detective believes they could be close to a break, thanks to new technology.

Our card this week is Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez, the Wild Card from Texas.Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez walked out of the duplex she shared with her family in Odessa, Texas, on Aug. 2, 1985, and seemingly vanished without a trace. Her sister-in-law watched Mary head in the direction of a local bar after fighting with her husband, who they knew as Arnuldo Mendez. Mary had asked her sister-in-law to watch her 5-year-old daughter, Virginia, while she went out, but she never came home. For nearly 40 years, her family wondered whether she’d walked away from her life and children…or if something bad had happened to her. It wasn’t until a young cold case detective stumbled across her long-lost case file and started digging that clues in a decades-old mystery started to be unearthed. If you know anything about the death of Mary Mendez, contact Det. Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or to submit a tip anonymously through Odessa Crime Stoppers, call 432-333-8477 or visit 333tips.org and reference case number 84-7988.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/maria-mary-faye-mendez Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AFText Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Our card this week is Lawrence Riegel, the 5 of Spades from Washington.When Lawrence was reported missing on January 10th, 2010, he didn’t exactly vanish without a trace. Between mysterious phone records and strange theories from a recluse who lived in an isolated trailer park , police had a good idea what his last movements were and with whom he interreacted – and specifically, they honed in on two people who seemed very suspicious in the wake of his disappearance. But they need more than suspicions to make their case. And detectives are sure that someone out there knows what happened to the man they still call “Lost Larry.” If you know something about the disappearance of Lawrence Riegel, you can call the Yakima Police Department at 509-575-6200.

Our card this week is Gregory Fickess, the Jack of Diamonds from New York. On a summer night in 1993, 19-year-old Gregory Fickess had just gotten out of his car in downtown Rochester when he was jumped in a seemingly unprovoked, fatal act of violence. A case with no motive and few cooperating witnesses is tough to get very far. But when detectives find out that one of the few cooperating witnesses they did have dies… suddenly… and under strange circumstances… it seems like one more sign that the theory they do have might be right. And they just need a little help from you getting this over the finish line after three decades.If you know anything about the murder of Gregory Fickess, you can call the Rochester Police Department at 585-428-7033. If you prefer to leave an anonymous tip, you can call Rochester Area Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/gregory-fickess Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AFText Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!

Our card this week is Jonathan Garcia-Valladares, the 7 of Diamonds from Arizona.Being a 13-year-old kid can be tough, to say the least. But it seemed as if Jonathan Garcia-Valladares had it figured out. He was an overachieving student. He was a chess player. And on a crisp fall day in 2010, Jonathan was trying to get in shape for the football team, a sport he’d just joined. But on that day, his short life would come to an end. In the 15 years since, law enforcement is still trying to uncover why, and, most importantly… who would do this to an innocent young kid who had his entire life ahead of him.  If you have any information about the murder of Jonathan Garcia-Valladares in Phoenix, Arizona, on November 7th, 2010, please contact Detective Roestenberg or anyone at the Phoenix Police Department during the day at 602-495-5883, and at night, you can call 602-262-6141.

The discussion highlights the complexities of uncovering truth in a case filled with unexpected connections and lingering mysteries that still await resolution.

Maurice – or Melissa, as they sometimes introduced themselves – was 22 when they were shot and killed in Phoenix, Arizona. They were just starting to build a name for themselves as a performer, making it to the regional final for American Idol and acting in dozens of local productions, including The Wiz, Westside Story, and Alice in Wonderland. But the curtain fell too soon…According to friends and family, gender identity was fluid for Maurice. They sometimes presented as femme and went by Melissa, as they did the night of the shooting. This led both LGBTQ+ activists and local officials to fear that maybe this was a hate crime. Maybe… But investigators have struggled to pin down a definitive motive – and the killer.If you have any information at all about the murder of Maurice Dupree Green, also known as Melissa, in March of 2006, please come forward.

Our card this week is Roger "Unkle Rog" McCall, the 2 of Spades from New York. If you lived in the Rochester area back in the day, you might recognize the smooth voice of “Unkle Rog.” As a late-night radio host and DJ at WCMF for almost 30 years, perhaps he kept you company past midnight, maybe helped you stay awake during a third shift. By 52, Roger had already survived a terminal cancer diagnosis, only to be gunned down on December 12th, 2003, in what, at first, seemed to be a random act of violence. But a potential witness in the case has raised the possibility that his murder may’ve been more personal than previously assumed.If you have any information about the murder of Roger McCall on December 12th, 2003, detectives want to hear from you. Although we were asked to use pseudonyms for persons of interest in this episode, if any of the details or storylines sounded familiar to you, or if you can corroborate “Dan’s” statement about what he said he saw that night, please reach out. You can remain anonymous by contacting Rochester Crime Stoppers at (585) 423-9300 or by submitting a tip online.To contact the Rochester PD’s Major Crimes Unit directly, you can call them at (585) 428-7157 or email them at MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/roger-unkle-rog-mccall Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AFText Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!
