Our card this week is Joe Laughlin, the Jack of Spades from South Carolina.

54-year-old Joe was a true “country guy", living a simple life in Anderson, South Carolina in 2012. He was a husband, father, provider, and handyman. It didn’t take much to make him happy. All he needed in life was his family, his work shed, and an ice-cold beer. Why someone would want to gun him down inside his own home remains a mystery, even over a decade after his death. To this day, Joe’s widow has never remarried. She’s still living at their same little house, with Joe’s picture hanging up on the wall, waiting for the day when justice will finally prevail.

• If you have any information about the murder of Joe Laughlin in Anderson, South Carolina in 2012, please call the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office at 864-260-4400, or you can speak with Sergeant Kendall Cash directly at 864-209-0582. You can remain anonymous by calling Anderson Area Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372), or submitting a tip online.

Our card this week is Bobby Ray Jones, the 8 of Clubs from Florida.

Bobby Ray Jones had just moved back to Walton County, Florida, in the late summer of 1971. It was a rebirth-of-sorts for this 33-year-old man. After getting caught up in a love affair and running off to Alabama, he had only recently returned to the sunshine state to try and reconcile with his wife. And seemingly, he was on track to do just that. He had already found a new job and a place to stay. Things were starting to turn around. So much so, that on September 29th, he even told his “mama” she had no reason to worry about him… and that he didn’t have “an enemy in the world.” But the very next morning, Bobby Ray was murdered…

• If you have any information about the death of Bobby Ray Jones in Darlington, FL, in 1971, please call the Walton County Sheriff’s Office at 850-892-8111, or remain anonymous by calling the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS (8477)

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.
