Summary

TIPS: 440-871-1234 The thing is, that October 27, 1989, was just like any other day in northeast Ohio up until those first reports of a missing girl from Bay Village hit the news around 10 o’clock. The city and the citizens felt like they had been punched in the gut. How could one of their own be taken right out from under the noses of the public, across from the police station nonetheless? As the days progressed, new information was being released regularly, with the most important being that of this phone caller who had potentially lured Amy to the plaza that Friday afternoon. The information about this phone call was given by two of Amy’s friends, who had been told of the plan on the meeting day. In speaking with Chief Spaetzel, these kids were able to provide a few very significant details, one of the most essential being that Amy was told she had $45 to spend and that if there was any money left over, she could also get a gift.

Slow Burn Media and Evergreen Podcast presents Who Killed, a podcast that provides a voice for the voiceless.

Hello and welcome to this week's holiday special of Who Killed, Amy Mahalovic. I decided I was going to

0:24.5

select a few episodes from the many years that I have covered this case because it is the

0:30.9

Thanksgiving holiday and we like to take it easy a little bit when the holidays roll around.

0:37.3

I think it's only fair for everyone to get a day off, but We like to take it easy a little bit when the holidays roll around.

0:41.4

I think it's only fair for everyone to get a day off,

0:47.0

but for the people who don't know this case or the people who want to relisten to this episode,

0:55.6

this is episode one of the deep dive that I took into the disappearance and murder of 10-year-old Amy Mahalovic from Bay Village, Ohio in 1989.

0:59.9

This was a case, again, that is very close to my heart because I grew up not far from

1:05.1

where she was abducted and was the same age as Amy when she was taken.

1:10.7

So, as we know, there has not been much as far as new information goes in regards to the

1:19.4

Amy Mahalovic case.

1:20.7

We do know that there has been some DNA that they found on a curtain and a blanket that was matched to Amy's dog and that

1:30.6

eventually was matched to Amy.

1:33.7

So we know that their evidence that they released in 2016 did provide new information.

1:42.3

Unfortunately, the information that it provided did not lead to any solutions.

1:48.2

Well, fast forward eight years, my podcast, Dateline, the Lake Erie murders, have all focused on this case,

1:59.2

and we still don't have any answers.

2:02.7

I still hold out hope that there will one day be a solution or a resolution to this case,

2:10.2

but as it gets longer in the tooth, it becomes a little bit harder to believe.

2:15.8

But I still believe, and that is what matters,

2:19.9

because we all want to see justice for the Mahalovic family and the city of Bay Village.
