Our card this week is Ralph Salazar and Alice Griego, the Ace of Hearts from Utah.

Back in October of 2023 we were contacted by Alice Griego's son, Frankie.

He wanted us to cover his mother's case.

He was a listener of the deck and had previously heard us cover cases in Utah.

And unbeknownst to him, our reporting team had already flagged his mother's case as one we

needed to take a closer look at.

Not just because it was unsolved, but because we felt it had never received the full coverage deserved.

And I'm confident someone out there knows the truth about what happened to Alice and Ralph.

And maybe it's time for that someone to come forward.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck. And then. Oh, It was a cold morning on Friday, December 14, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah,

when Frankie Cisneros got a panicked call from his older sister, Jenna.

My sister had called me and said, you know, mom didn't show up to work.

And my mom never missed a day.

Like she was always at work.

She didn't miss, never called out. 55. Five-year-old Alice Green always at

the work. She didn't miss, never called out. 55 year old Alice Criego had worked at Smith's Bakery for over 17 years and every day of those 17 years

she promptly started her shift on time, which at this point started at 3 a.m.

So it being close to 8 a.m. when Frankie got this call was every reason to be concerned. Right away he jumped in his car and raced over to the home

Alice shared with her boyfriend Ralph Salazar. When I was, you know, my intent to

race in like what's going on I was a little scared reluctant so I went up there and as I got up there I could smell and it was in the winter time so I can smell smoke if I got out of the car.

The first thing that comes in my mind is, you know, chimney, you know, people are lighting their

fireplaces or whatnot.
