Our card this week is Elisa Gano, the Queen of Diamonds from Arizona.

At just 30 years old, Elisa had already lived a lifetime full of ups and downs.

She often found herself experiencing homelessness while battling her own personal demons.

And all of that while struggling to be a mother to five children.

Despite her difficulties though, Elisa's family felt like she would come out the other side.

The problem is, she never got that chance.

I'm Ashley Flowers and this is the deck. I'm going to. Oh, It was the early morning hours on October 3, 2000 when a paving crew arrived at their job site along West Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix, Arizona.

They were in the process of laying asphalt at a large parking lot, but that morning all work was halted because the

crew made a startling discovery. They were kind of shocked obviously to see a

nude woman on the side of the roadway. They immediately recognize that she was more than

likely deceased, so they immediately called the police department.

That's homicide detective Dominic Rostenburg of the Phoenix Police Department.

He told us that because of the location there was some confusion at first with who was

dispatched and the first officer to arrive on the scene that day was actually

from the Maricopa County

Sheriff's office not Phoenix PD. So it's very uninhabited. It's an industrial

area. Not a lot of houses nearby.

It's like a commercial industrial air is probably the best way to describe it.

You know, you wouldn't see a lot of cars, you wouldn't see a lot of foot traffic there.

There's not a lot of stores like super close.

The sheriff's deputy approached the body

and confirmed what the paving crew had suspected.
