218 - The Murder of Leslie Zaret

On the evening of Friday, August 16th, 1974, seventeen year old Leslie Zaret set off on a walk she'd made many times before. Leaving her best friend's home, the Queens, NY native had twenty-six blocks to cross before she'd arrive home. She never made it and less than ten hours later, her body was discovered in the playground of PS 203 - more than six miles off course from Leslie's walk.
The initial investigation struggled with a lack of evidence, witnesses and suspects. Despite sincere efforts, the case grew cold. Thirty-two years later, a curious dream caused an NYPD Chief to take another look. Using new techniques and technology, they would finally identify a person of interest. However, nearly fifty years later, they still need your help to bring this monster to justice.

In this special update episode we examine new information revolving around two cases previously covered on Trace Evidence.
BREAKING NEWS: Episode 210 - The Disappearance of Robert Baron: This week there have been major advancements in this investigation searching for pizza restaurant owner who vanished from Old Forge, PA in 2017. Multiple agencies have been involved in the recovery of human remains not far from where Robert's car was previously found abandoned. While DNA tests are necessary for identification, law enforcement is of the belief that they have likely found Robert.
Episode 037 - The Disappearance of Danielle Stislicki: Floyd Galloway Jr, a former security guard employed at the MetLife building where Danielle worked is on trial for her murder. However, recent developments have seen several key pieces of evidence suppressed by the judge who has ruled them to be inadmissible. These pieces of evidence had apparently been obtained as a result of Galloway's rights being violated.

219 - UPDATE - Anthonette Cayedito

1 Recommendations

Thirty-seven years ago, nine year old Anthonette Cayedito mysteriously vanished from her family's Gallup, NM apartment. Initially it was reported that the child went to answer a knock at the door sometime during the night and it was theorized that whoever had been knocking abducted Anthonette when she opened the door.
However, thirty-seven years later, new information has emerged which flips the entire case on its head. According to the police and FBI files, there was something far more sinister going on and all the evidence seems to suggest the most heartbreaking scenario -- that Anthonette's disappearance may have been orchestrated, in part, by her own mother.
