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.
Sharon Pretorius (6 of Diamonds, Ohio)
Our card this week is Sharon Pretorius, the 6 of Diamonds from Ohio.
One September day in 1973, 13-year-old Sharon left her home to run a quick errand, an errand she’s run dozens of times before. But that day would be different. And for the last 50 years her family and investigators have put all their hope and energy into trying to determine what happened in just a 90 second window after she walked out the door.
If you know anything about the disappearance or murder of 13-year-old Sharon Pretorius in September of 1973, or if you’re a detective who’s worked a similar case, please call the Dayton Police Department Cold Case Unit at 937-333-7109.
