Leslie Preer | 224

In 2001, Leslie & Sandy Preer were empty nesters with a picture perfect life in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Their daughter Lauren lived nearby and even though she was an adult, the 3 of them were closer than ever.  But on May 2, 2001, tragedy struck. Leslie's boss called Sandy to tell him Leslie didn't show up for work and within hours, the Preer family's lives changed forever. Even with a few immediate suspects, the case would go cold for over 20 years before an arrest is made with the help of customs agents at Washington Dulles International Airport. And they learn the person behind it was someone nobody suspected.  Research Assistance: Jim Rowley Join our ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ Shop ⁠⁠merch⁠⁠ Follow us on socials: ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ; ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ Sponsors: -Goodles: Goodles.com Available at Target, Walmart, and other retailers -OSEA: Oseamalibu.com Use code THEWORST for 10% off your first order  -Quince: Quince.com/PATW for free shipping + 365-day returns -Ruggable: Ruggable.com Use code PATW for 10% off your first order -Shopify: Shopify.com/WORST for a $1/month trial -TaskRabbit: Taskrabbit.com Use code THEWORST for $15 off your first task -Zenni: Zenni.com/podcast use code PODCAST15 for 15% off your first order Click here for a full list of sponsors and discount codes Learn more about your ad choices.
