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.

Our card this week is Sandra Ann Burris, the 5 of Spades from Louisiana. 

On a hot summer night in 2005, Sandra Burris and her best friend went clubbing in their small Louisiana town. The night started out like any other, but the friends went separate ways later in the evening, and sometime after that, Sandra vanished—and there’s been no trace of her since. 

As the 20th anniversary of Sandra’s disappearance approaches, her oldest daughter, Kelly Melancon, is still looking for answers.

But it turns out, you get the right reporter dusting things off, asking questions… and you just might uncover new avenues of investigation. 

  • If you know anything about the disappearance of Sandra Burris, please contact St. Landry Parish Crime Stoppers by visiting their website, www.stlandrycrimestoppers, or by calling their tip line at 1-337-948-8477.
