The Deck

Our card this week is Marjorie "Christy" Lunda, the 4 of Spades from Florida. 

In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we are sharing the story of Marjorie “Christy” Luna to honor her life and amplify the voices of survivors.

From the outside, Greenacres seemed like a picture-perfect place to grow up — where kids roamed barefoot between the park, school, and corner store. But beneath that storybook setting, something darker was unfolding, and it came to a head one May evening in 1984 when Christy disappeared.

More than 40 years later, her friends are revisiting their childhood memories, uncovering how abuse and violence can exist in plain sight — often hidden or left unspoken.

By sharing Christy’s story during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we hope to raise awareness, support survivors, and remind others that their voices matter.

If you or someone you know is a survivor of sexual assault, you can find confidential support at RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline. You can chat with them online, call 1-800-656-4673, or text HOPE to 64673.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Marjorie “Christy” Luna in Greenacres, Florida, on May 27th, 1984, the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, please come forward. And if you had encounters with anyone named in the episode, or even similar encounters as described with men you didn’t know, detectives want to hear from you, too. Perhaps you hold the missing piece to solving this mystery and putting a terrible person behind bars for whatever life they have left. You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County at 1-800-458-8477.

Ways to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office directly: Main Line: 561-688-3000. Detective William Springer’s Email: [email protected]

Our card this week is Jason Vesper, the 10 of Diamonds from Nebraska.

The year 2008 had barely gotten started when 40-year-old Jason Vesper found himself in the middle of a family argument with his wife and teenage son. In the early hours of January 2nd, Jason left the family home in Scottsbluff to go for a short drive and blow off some steam. It was his MO when he needed to decompress. 

As Jason walked into the dark towards his pickup, with snow still lying thick on the ground, no one could have predicted the horror that would unfold over the next few minutes. Jason’s last moments were caught almost entirely on surveillance footage – except for a short window in which he was viciously and deliberately murdered. 

What exactly transpired between Jason and his killer during that period was never captured on film. Why did Jason become a target during a spur-of-the-moment drive? And was the killer – or killers – closer to home than anyone could have imagined? 

If you have any information, you can call the Scottsbluff Police Department at (308) 632 7867.

Our card this week is Janet Couture, the Jack of Diamonds from Connecticut.

In 1973, Janet Couture was murdered in her home, and for more than five decades the case remained unsolved. Despite years of investigation, the breakthrough came only in 2025, when a longtime suspect with a violent history was finally arrested.

If you have any information about other crimes George Legere may have been involved in, or believe you were a victim of him, contact Detective Christina Johnston of the East Hartford Police Department at 860-528-4401, or if you would like to remain anonymous, call 860-289-9134.

Our card this week is Mason Worthington, the Wild Card from Virginia. 

In the early hours of December 30, 2018, deputies with the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office were called to the Penniman neighborhood of Williamsburg, initially for a report of shots fired.

Then, they were called again: A 20-year-old had been fatally shot in his home. They spend the next several days talking to Mason’s friends, searching for surveillance footage, and collecting evidence. 

Since then, investigators have canvassed the neighborhood, turning over every possible clue that might help piece together what happened on December 29, 2018. They believe they might be close to answers — as long as they’re able to track down the man who might know what happened. 

Anyone with information can call the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office at 757-890-3621or the Hampton Roads Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP (5625-887).

Our card this week is Jeffrey Dale Nichols, the 6 of Diamonds from Utah.

Early one June morning in 2004, Jeffrey Nichols told his girlfriend he was meeting his ex-wife in a shopping center parking lot to buy a set of golf clubs.  But his ex-wife told police they were getting together at a McDonald's for a family meeting.  No matter which version is true, one thing is for certain: After the morning of June 8th, 2004, Jeff was never seen again. And not only does his story include an honest-to-god, real-life burn book – we also found a clue that had been sitting in plain sight for the past 20 years that just might prove someone is lying

If you know anything about the disappearance of Jeffrey Dale Nichols, detectives want to hear from you. Please contact the  Salt Lake City Police Department at 801-799-3000.

 * A previous version of this episode incorrectly stated the address of a parking lot. The correct address is 4500 South State Street.
