Casefile Extra: Maria Cruz

Casefile Presents
About this episode

Casefile Extra features bonus episodes exploring compelling cases, stories and topics beyond our regular weekly releases.


When 35-year-old Maria Cruz failed to show up for work on April 14 2003, her colleagues immediately knew something was wrong. A visit to her Manhattan apartment revealed no signs of a struggle and no indication of where she might have gone.


As investigators retraced her movements from the day before, they discovered she had attended a medical appointment. But when they tried to contact her doctor, nothing was as it seemed.
