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.
Stewart Simmons and Margaret Walden (Ace of Diamonds and Ace of Hearts, Colorado)
Our cards this week are Stewart Simmons and Margaret Walden, the Ace of Diamonds and the Ace of Hearts from Colorado.
The bodies of Stewart Simmons and Margaret Walden were found in the fall of 1982 on the banks of the San Juan River, right where Colorado meets New Mexico. For years they went unidentified, and were even buried without names to mark their graves. When a Colorado detective decided to find out who they were, he would go on to find out even more … uncovering their names, their stories and the likely truth behind their murders, decades after they were killed.
If you or someone you know has information about the murders of Stewart Simmons and Margaret Walden, please contact the Archuleta County, Colorado Sheriff's Department at 970-264-8430.
