About this episode
Maria Ridulph was a seven year old girl who was out playing with her friend Kathy one day in 1957 when she vanished and was ultimately found murdered. Kathy was able to tell police that Maria was last seen with a mystery man named Johnny. But this case would go cold for nearly 50 years before it would heat up.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the details of this tragic case. This is a case that would be solved 55 years after it happened. But it would not stayed solved as the man convicted of Maria's murder would be let out of prison. This is a case that has haunted the small town of Sycamore and the surrounding Chicago area for 60 years.
