The Deck

Our cards this week are Ronda Taylor and Bonnie Ryther, the King of Clubs and 9 of Diamonds from Florida. 
There is a man serving a life sentence in a Florida prison for his part in the 1989 murder of a 29-year-old pregnant woman named Donna Callahan. Two brothers were ultimately convicted for her abduction – and each of them pointed to the other as the ultimate preparator. But only one of them would go on to confess to over a dozen other murders. That man is now considered, by some, to be one of the deadliest killers on Florida’s Gulf Coast.  And if his original confessions are to be believed, then not one, but two Fort Walton Beach cases could be closed. Right now, one detective is making it his mission to find out once and for all: Can he prove Mark Riebe is the serial killer everyone thinks he is? And was he–or someone else entirely–responsible for the murders of Ronda Taylor and Bonnie Ryther? 
 If you know anything about the murders of Ronda Taylor or Bonnie Ryther in Florida’s Gulf Coast, you can contact Detective Wilson directly at 850-797-2458. You can also call the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS.

In September 1980, a Holiday Inn hotel in rural Iowa became the scene of a shocking double murder: a couple was found dead in their hotel bed, covered in lacerations. And the scene around them is one of the strangest and most puzzling I’ve ever come across in all my work. It’s one of the reasons this case has gained notoriety over time: I mean, to this day, the hotel where the couple lost their lives is still visited by true crime fanatics.
Despite multiple suspects – and three agencies contributing to the investigation – no one has ever been arrested or charged in connection with Rose and Roger’s deaths.
But… we have an exclusive update – something is about to happen in the Rose and Roger case that just might solve this nearly 50-year-old mystery.   
If you have any information about the murders of Roger Atkison and Rose Burkert, you can call the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office at 319-642-7307.

Our card this week is Tangie Sims, the 9 of Diamonds from Colorado.
When a young woman was found brutally murdered in an Aurora, Colorado alleyway in October 1996, one eagle-eyed detective zeroed in on forensic evidence he hoped would lead him to her killer. But one by one, that evidence ruled out every person they thought may have killed 25-year-old Tangie Sims and eventually her case went cold. And it stayed cold until new detectives revisited old evidence with new technology, took a look at one particular family tree and finally found who they’d been looking for. 
If you or someone you know is looking for answers in an unsolved case and think there might be a connection to Tangie Sims’ case, contact Aurora Police Department Cold Case Detective Jason McDonald by phone at 303-739-6013 or by email  [email protected]. You can also submit an anonymous tip to the the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers by calling 720-913-7867.

Our card this week is Thomas Mather, the Seven of Diamonds from Iowa. 
Nothing causes the true crime community to stir more than a case with the open-ended question of did he? Or didn’t he? Well, except that is, when the question is did SHE?
For longer than 32-year-old Thomas Mather was alive, a rural town in Iowa has been haunted by their only unsolved homicide. The former Sheriff told us it’s the only who dun it they have left.
Does no foreign DNA evidence and strange behavior mean that Dawn Mather had to have been involved in killing her husband? Or does an unidentified fingerprint and tire tracks prove she didn’t?
 If you know anything about the murder of Thomas Mather, investigators want to hear from you. Please contact the Iowa Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit at 800-242-5100, or to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 563-886-6618.

Our card this week is Shad Gandy Kaydea, the 2 of Spades from Rhode Island.
A late-night fire in a Rhode Island cemetery led to the discovery of the body of Shad Gandy Kaydea, a young father and aspiring rapper who was strangled, then set on fire. As detectives peeled back the layers of Shad’s life, they uncovered volatile family tensions, a suspicious life insurance policy, and a man whose story kept changing. More than a decade later, his killer still walks free… but someone out there knows the truth.
If you have any information about the murder of Shad Gandy Kaydea, contact Cranston Police at 401-942-2211 or submit an anonymous tip by texting the keyword CRANSTONPD and your tip to 847411. You can also contact Rhode Island’s tipline at 877-RI-SOLVE (74-76583), or email [email protected] with tips or questions.
