For years, some law enforcement agencies have replaced the faces of traditional playing card decks with images of missing and murdered people and distributed those cards in prisons hoping inmates would come forward with information needed to crack these cold cases wide open. 

Now, audiochuck is dealing you in. 

Each week, we will be working with investigators and family members to bring you the details of some of the coldest cases from around the country in hopes that someone listening can finally bring these victims the justice they deserve.

The Deck

Susie Timmons (9 of Diamonds, New York)

Our card this week is Darnell Smith, the 5 of Diamonds from California.

Darnell Smith’s family never expected him – a pastor’s son and an ambitious student – to get killed in a hail of gunfire. For a young man without even a whisper of a criminal record, no one would have expected his life to end in such a violent way at the age of twenty. But Darnell Smith’s death became entangled in a world his family was never a part of — and left investigators scrambling to unravel what would soon become a neighborhood nightmare. For more than a decade it seemed like there was no hope for justice… but when our reports went to visit one of the crime scenes … they may have stumbled upon the key to solving this case.

Listen to the first-ever in-depth coverage of Darnell Smith's case only on The Deck.

 • If you know anything about the murder of Darnell Smith in San Diego, California, on June 15, 2008, it’s time to come forward. Currently, there’s a $3,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible. You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of San Diego at

Darnell Smith (5 of Diamonds, California)

Our card this week is Robert Mitchell Jr., the 8 of Clubs from New York. 

When the body of Robert Mitchell Jr., a “gentle giant” and towering presence in Rochester’s bar scene, is discovered burning in a public park, detectives don’t know what to think. As rumors swirl and leads dry up, the case grows cold… until a witness comes forward with details so specific, only someone close to the crime could know them. Now, nearly a decade later, investigators believe they know who killed Robert… But proving it in court is another story.

major crimes unit • at

Robert Mitchell Jr. (8 of Clubs, New York)

Our card this week is Jerene Matta, the Queen of Spades from Washington. 

During the Yakima Police Department’s annual Christmas party, the news of 62-year-old Jerene’s murder shocked every officer and their plus ones. Jerene’s house was known for its security cameras – there were so many that you basically couldn’t enter the property without being filmed. 

Why was Jerene targeted? And who was she watching on her cameras?

Or maybe the better question is, was someone watching Jerene?

 • If you have information regarding the murder of Jerene Matta, you can call the Yakima Police Department at 
509-575-6200 • . If you wish to remain anonymous, you can leave a tip with Crime Stoppers by calling

Jerene Matta (Queen of Spades, Washington)

Our card this week is Ron Harnish, the 7 of Clubs from California.

Twenty-two-year-old Ron Harnish was murdered on the streets of San Diego in December 2006. Almost 19 years later, the police and Ron’s own mother believe they know who’s responsible. But proving it has been a challenge, and the people they are after are as violent as it gets.

619-531-2239 • . Or, if you’d like to remain completely anonymous, you can call San Diego Crime Stoppers at

Ron Harnish (7 of Clubs, California)

Our card this week is Jaklyn Baccoli, the 5 of Clubs from New York.

When demolition workers entered a vacant home in Rochester, New York, they expected asbestos—not a crime scene. But hidden inside was the body of 44-year-old Jaklyn Baccoli, a woman whose final moments were marked by unimaginable violence. As detectives dug into her life and the days leading up to her death, they uncovered a tangled web of addiction, survival, and street rumors—and a potential suspect with a story full of holes. But what they don’t have is enough to close the case. And someone out there still knows the truth.

 • If you know anything about the murder of Jaklyn Baccoli, please 
call • Rochester Police Department’s 
major crimes unit • at 
585-428-7157 • or email them at

Jaklyn Baccoli (5 of Clubs, New York)

Our card this week is Valaine Briggs, the Ace of Spades from Utah.

When 19-year-old Valaine left her Salt Lake City apartment and walked to class one spring morning in 1977, her carefully planned future was full of promise. And though she was in a time of transition and had recently ended an engagement, Valaine knew even this temporary disappointment just brought her closer to the life she dreamed of…a life full of family and rooted in faith…a life her ex-fiancé couldn’t give her.

What Valaine didn’t know that morning…what she couldn’t have known…was that the postcard-perfect future she envisioned for herself would be stolen from her in the cruelest of ways.

 • If you know anything about the murder of Valaine Briggs in Salt Lake City, Utah, in May of 1977, please call Unified Police Detective Ben Pender at 
385-468-9816 • .

REMEMBERING: Valaine Briggs (Ace of Spades, Utah)

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. Listen to the first-ever in-depth coverage of Andy Moore's case only on The Deck!

 • If you have any information about the murder of Andrew “Andy” Moore in San Diego, California, in September 2000, please contact the San Diego Police Homicide unit at 
619-531-2293 • ; or you can call Detective Tracey Barr’s desk phone at 
619-430-0134 • . You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of San Diego at 
888-580-8477 • or 
submit your tip online • . There’s a $56K reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction.

Andrew Moore (6 of Clubs, California)

Our card this week is Patricia Allen, the Queen of Hearts from Washington.

With no shortage of suspects – including a woman who some believe wanted to become Patty – this case is truly stranger than fiction. 

 • Or, if you have any information at all about the October 3, 1995, murder of Patricia Allen, please email the Yakima Cold Case Unit at 
ypdcoldcase@yakimawa.gov • . You can also submit an anonymous tip through CrimeStoppers of Yakima County at

Patricia Allen (Queen of Hearts, Washington)

Our card this week is Jodine Serrin, the 7 of Diamonds from California.

In 1995, Marisa Patti met David Mabrito on the beach in Oceanside, California – it was love at first sight. Twenty-three years later, he would be found responsible for the brutal murder and desecration of 39-year-old Jodine Serrin in her own bedroom. 

In the wake of the solve, Marisa and her son were left on their own to figure out how this man they loved, trusted, and built a life with could have committed such an unthinkable crime. Today, they’re still trying to make sense of it all. Marisa’s story is one we rarely get in true crime: a raw, unflinching look at what it means to live in the aftermath – not just for victims' families, but for the ones closest to the killer.

 • On Crime Junkie we walked through every detail of Jodine Serrin’s case that led police to her killer: David Mabrito. Make sure you’ve listened to that episode, 
MURDERED: Jodine Serrin - Part 1 • , before you start this one.

here • to get started.
 • If you find yourself facing similarly unique and harrowing challenges as Marisa and her son, and you feel comfortable sharing your story and the community services you found helpful, if any, please email us at
