August 17, 1992. Waukegan, Illinois. Holly Staker was an 11 year-old girl who was babysitting two children when she was raped and then stabbed to death. Detectives wasted no time in collecting evidence and pursuing suspects but the case was looking bleak until word came in that an incarcerated man by the name of Juan Rivera might know something about the crime. After four days of interrogation, Juan relented and a confession followed. Join Aaron and special guest Robin Warder of The Trail Went Cold as they discuss one of the most infuriating cases we have ever heard of.

The Murder of Holly Staker - 424

In 1992, 11-year-old Holly Staker was babysitting for two small children when she was brutally murdered. Holly was a beautiful bright girl who was deeply loved by her parents, her twin sister Heather and her two young siblings. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this heartbreaking and puzzling case. Police were able to get a conviction from a man named Juan Rivera but the tactics used in getting that conviction came under fire over the years. The details of Holly's murder were gruesome and the trials for Juan Rivera were numerous. Did the police have the right killer all along or did they let the real killer go because they locked in on Rivera?

August 17, 1992. Waukegan, Illinois. While babysitting two children, 11-year old Holly Staker is sexually assaulted and brutally murdered inside their apartment. Two months later, a suspect named Juan Rivera is brought in for questioning and confesses to the murder after four straight days of interrogation. He is subsequently convicted and receives a life sentence, but no physical evidence links Rivera to the crime and the veracity of his confession is called into question. After Rivera serves 19 years in prison, DNA evidence eventually links Holly’s death to another murder… but could another innocent person also be serving time in prison for that particular crime? This week, we present one of our most shocking episodes of “The Trail Went Cold”, which examines a truly egregious wrongful conviction and two brutal murders committed by an unknown perpetrator who has yet to be identified.
