About this episode

Our card this week is Christine Tortoro, the 6 of Clubs from Connecticut. 

In 1988, 21-year-old Christine was found murdered in Hartford, Connecticut. Almost immediately, rumors started swirling about who could be responsible for her death. But most rumors always have a source — and if you look hard enough, sometimes, you can find a thread of truth. Follow that thread, and you might find the killer.

If you have any information on the location of Samantha or about the murder of Christine Tortoro in the early morning hours of August 26th, 1988, please call the Connecticut Cold Case Tip Line at 1-866-623-8058, or you can email tips to cold.case@ct.gov. You could be eligible for a $20,000 reward.
