Audiochuck’s newest weekly show, The Deck, is hosted by Ashley Flowers and takes true-crime listeners through a deck of playing cards that is unlike any other.

For years, state prison systems and local law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have replaced the face cards of queens, kings and aces in traditional playing card decks with images of missing and murdered people. Investigators have passed these modified decks out in jails and prisons hoping that they will make their way into the hands of someone with answers. These are the coldest of cases where investigators have no choice but to show their hand in the hopes of getting killers to fold.

Join Ashley Flowers every Wednesday as she works with investigators and victims’ families to recount the details of these cases in hopes that justice may finally be served.
