About this episode

Our second card this week is Maria del Socorro Maldonado Ambriz, the Joker from Indiana.

Maria was spending what seemed like an average day with her two children when a masked intruder burst through the door and changed everyone in that home’s life. In just a matter of minutes, Maria, a single mom, was abducted and left for dead less than a mile from where her children were still hiding. It’s been two years, so the evidence is fresh and the leads are hot. But it’s going to take the right person coming forward to solve this case.

  • If you have any information about the murder of Maria del Socorro Maldonado Ambriz in 2022 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, please call the Fort Wayne Police Department Detective’s Bureau at 260-427-1201, or Crimestoppers at 260-436-STOP (7867).
