**********WARNING: This case includes extra sensitive material including a child victim, sexual assault, and addiction**********

 

Join us for this listener requested case that has left us reeling! On Super Bowl Sunday of 2004, 11 year old Carlie Brucia made the grave mistake of walking home alone from a friend's house. Her mom, Susan, and stepfather, Steve, immediately began looking for her but it was too late. Just minutes after leaving her friend's house, Carlie was approached and grabbed by a stranger. Find out how detectives catch the murderer, why he thought he could escape the death penalty, and the terrible aftermath as Elysia walks us through this tragic story and Savannah hates every word so much she can't sit still.
