About this episode

Our card this week is Linda "Lulu Ree" Ceasar, the 9 of Spades from Connecticut.

Linda "Lulu Ree" Ceasar's story is not all that different from so many others. She was a victim of her circumstances, and then she was a victim again when, in the summer of 1983, her life was taken in the most brutal of ways. Over 40 years later, the police still need help to close her case.

  • If you know anything about the murder of Linda “Lulu Ree” Ceasar, please contact the Hartford Police Department’s Major Crimes Division at 860-757-4000, or the Cold Case Tip Line at 860-722-TIPS (8477). You can also email tips to  hartfordpd.media@hartford.gov, or contact the Connecticut Cold Case Unit at 1-866-623-8058.
