The Deck

Written by: audiochuck
  • Summary

  • 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, audiochuck is dealing you in. 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.

  • Jefferson West (King of Diamonds, Mississippi)
    Feb 5 2025

    Our card this week is Jefferson "Jeff" West, the King of Diamonds from Mississippi.

    On July 2nd 2018, Jeff West, a 46-year-old father of four, got into an argument with his mom in the backyard of her house. In the heat of the moment, he apparently stormed off into the woods surrounding her property… and has never been seen again.

    • If you know anything about the mysterious disappearance of Jeff West from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in July of 2018, we urge you to call Detective Sergeant Dustin Weir at 228-466-5474, or, if you prefer to remain anonymous, you can call Mississippi Coast CrimeStoppers at 877-787-5898.

  • Agustin Chacon (King of Clubs, Texas) & Marshall McCarthy (5 of Hearts, Texas)
    Jan 29 2025

    Agustin Chacon, 25, and Marshall McCarthy, 37, were both shot to death in their homes in the same Odessa, Texas, neighborhood on the same winter night in 1982. While Marshall’s case nearly had too many leads for investigators to chase, Agustin’s hardly had any. A language barrier between police and Agustin’s roommates made things even harder. Now, more than 40 years later, one cold case detective is working through the different challenges in each case as she tries to solve both of these men’s murders.

    • If you know anything at all about the murders of Agustin Chacon or Marshall McCarthy, or knew Agustin Chacon in Odessa in 1982, contact Detective Lauren Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or contact the Odessa Crime Stoppers if you want to remain anonymous, at (432) 333-8477.
    • To listen to the episode we mentioned on Eula “Kay” Miller visit here.

    Please share this episode with anyone you know who lives in Odessa or may know someone who does. We have generated a transcript for this episode in Spanish as well as a digital flyer in the hopes of getting folks to come forward in Agustin's case which you can find here.

  • LaQuandra “Shavonne” Slater (4 of Clubs, Michigan)
    Jan 22 2025

    Our card this week is LaQuandra “Shavonne” Slater, the 4 of Clubs from Michigan.

    Thirty-eight-year-old, LaQuandra “Shavonne” Slater was known for being independent. Everyone who knew her said she was outspoken, knew how to take care of herself, and wasn’t one to be pushed around. So, it was all the more shocking when, in December of 2016, she disappeared without a trace.

    • If you know anything about the disappearance of LaQuandra “Shavonne” Slater in Flint, Michigan in December of 2016, we urge you to call Flint Township Police Detective Lacey Lopez directly at 810-600-3266 or you can leave an anonymous tip with the Crime Stoppers of Flint & Genesee County by calling 1-800-422-5245.
