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

Our card this week is Deborah Perry, the 3 of Spades from South Carolina. 

Three decades have passed since 29-year-old Deborah Perry was found shot to death on a rural cul-de-sac outside Columbia, South Carolina, and her killer has never been caught. As cold case investigators follow new leads, Deborah’s daughter wonders if a pair of flowered pants and men’s underwear her mother was found holding could be the key to cracking the case.

 • If you have information about the 1994 murder of Deborah Perry please contact Crimestoppers at 
1-888-CRIME-SC • .

Deborah Perry (King of Spades, South Carolina)

Our card this week is Javed Akhtar, the Jack of Diamonds from Connecticut.

When 32-year-old Javed Akhtar was fatally shot outside his convenience store in East Windsor, Connecticut, on a cold winter night in 2007, his wife, their two young children, and a community of loyal customers were desperate for answers. Police soon found the murder weapon, but solving the case wouldn’t be simple, and the investigation stalled for years. Now, after reviewing case files for this episode of The Deck, investigators are pursuing new leads on three suspects, including one man with a direct link to that gun.

 • If you have any information about the death of Javed Akhtar, please contact the Connecticut Cold Case Unit at 
1-866-623-8058 • or email

LaQuandra “Shavonne” Slater (4 of Clubs, Michigan)

Agustin Chacon, 25, and Marshall McCarthy, 37, were both shot to death in their homes in the same Odessa, Texas, neighborhood on the same winter night in 1982. While Marshall’s case nearly had too many leads for investigators to chase, Agustin’s hardly had any. A language barrier between police and Agustin’s roommates made things even harder. Now, more than 40 years later, one cold case detective is working through the different challenges in each case as she tries to solve both of these men’s murders. 

 • If you know anything at all about the murders of Agustin Chacon or Marshall McCarthy, or knew Agustin Chacon in Odessa in 1982, contact Detective Lauren Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or contact the Odessa Crime Stoppers if you want to remain anonymous, at 
(432) 333-8477 • .

Our card this week is Carole Clement, the Ace of Hearts from Florida. 

When a beloved mother and grandmother is found stabbed to death inside her own home in an affluent seaside community, detectives are immediately suspicious of her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Was this a murder-for-hire plot, or could the killer be someone much closer to Carole than they’d previously assumed?

 • If you know anything about the murder of Carole Clement in Naples, Florida, in March of 1992, you’re urged to come forward. You can remain anonymous by submitting a tip through Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers 
online • or by calling them at 1-800-780-8477.
