## Resource

Casefile Extra features bonus episodes exploring compelling cases, stories and topics beyond our regular weekly releases. When 35-year-old Maria Cruz failed to show up for work on April 14 2003, her colleagues immediately knew something was wrong. A visit to her Manhattan apartment revealed no signs of a struggle and no indication of where she might have gone. As investigators retraced her movements from the day before, they discovered she had attended a medical appointment. But when they tried to contact her doctor, nothing was as it seemed. --- Narration – Anonymous Host Research & writing – Jessica Larsen Production & music – Mike Migas Audio editing – Anthony Telfer Sign up for Casefile Premium: Apple Premium Spotify Premium Patreon For all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/casefile-extra-maria-cruz Hosted on Acast.
