Sylvia Baker (3 of Spades, Connecticut)

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

Our card this week is Sylvia Baker, the 3 of Spades from Connecticut. 

Sylvia Baker, 28, went downstairs on July 17th, 1982 to take out the trash. Sylvia never returned to her apartment, where her two young kids were watching TV. When she was found the next day, nude and bound with pieces of her own clothing, her family remained in a state of shock as police worked to track down her killers. Over 40 years later, no one’s been held accountable for Sylvia’s murder, but a DNA match and other clues have investigators closer than ever to the truth.
