Summary

Episode 144 Angelica Ramirez

*WARNING* This episode discusses the murder of a child. Listener discretion is advised.

In 1994, ten year old Angelica Ramirez was snatched from a swap meet in Visalia, CA. Clues at the scene confirmed the worst fears of her mother, and the investigators. Angelica’s body was found two days later, more than 40 miles away. A sexual assault kit yielded male DNA, which would be used to eliminate not one, but two false confessors in her case. Angelica’s murder was just one of a series of child murders in the central valley in just a few years, and one of the few that remained unsolved. When IGG provided a name for her slayer, police had never heard of him – and what they learned about him was both disturbing and frustrating.
