Thirty years later, the case was resurrected after police discovered a chilling scene. --- Narration – Anonymous Host [https://www.instagram.com/caseys.snaps/] Research & writing – Brianne Jaskulski Production & music – Mike Migas [http://mikemigas.com/] Audio editing – Anthony Telfer Sign up for Casefile Premium: * Apple Premium [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/casefile-true-crime/id998568017?ign-itscg=30200S&ign-itsct=casefile_podcasts] * Spotify Premium [https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/9gSwcv7USsb] * Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/casefile] For all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/case-343-john-zera [https://casefilepodcast.com/case-343-john-zera] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
