The Deck: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Audiochuck
For years, some law enforcement agencies have replaced the faces of traditional playing card decks with images of missing and murdered people and distributed those cards in prisons hoping inmates would come forward with information needed to crack these cold cases wide open. Now, each week, we will be working with investigators and family members to bring you the details of some of the coldest cases from around the country in hopes that someone listening can finally bring these victims the justice they deserve.

Benjamin Rosario (Wild Card, Connecticut)
Our card this week is Benjamin Rosario, a Wild Card from Connecticut. Most cold case investigators will tell you that murder is a dirty business. But once in a while, there’s a murder so horrific that it could be mistaken for an urban legend. The unsolved homicide of Benjamin is one of those cases. It began on a summer evening much like any other for Benjamin. He left his apartment and headed off to his local bar just a few blocks away from home in Bridgeport’s East End. No doubt the neighbors expected to see him the next day, as they usually did – singing Spanish love songs on his porch. But that’s not how things transpired… Benjamin’s story would end with a grim discovery in the middle of a road just a five-minute drive from his apartment. If you know anything about the murder of Benjamin Rosario, you can call the Bridgeport Police Department at 203-576-TIPS.

Terrance “Konomi” Plummer (Ace of Spades, North Carolina)
This episode of The Deck tells the harrowing, 13-year journey to solve the brutal 2010 murder of Terrence Plummer, a Black transgender sex worker in Fayetteville, North Carolina, whose case was cracked not by new evidence, but by re-examining a palm print that had been in the system since day one. The breakthrough came when a veteran detective was reminded that outdated forensic databases needed to be rerun nationally — a simple step that finally identified the killer and delivered long-overdue closure.

Beverly Logan (10 of Clubs, Kansas)
The episode investigates the 2008 unsolved murder of Beverly Logan, a 56-year-old nurse’s assistant in Salina, Kansas, whose brutal stabbing remains a mystery despite over 50 DNA tests and years of investigation. The case hinges on a YSTR DNA profile that limits suspect identification and a haunting theory that Beverly knew her killer.
