Kirsten Leonard (9 of Spades, Nevada)

A while back, our team at audiochuck received an email from Kirsten Leonard’s family asking us if we would cover her case. Specifically, the email was sent by her nephew, Karsten, who’s named in memory of his aunt… an aunt he never got the chance to meet.

That’s because in June 1986, at just 22 years old, Kirsten was murdered in what can only be described as a senseless and brutal crime.

• If you have any information about the murder of Kirsten Leonard in 1986, please call the Reno Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 775-334-2188, or anonymously report information by calling Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.You can also visit the Secret Witness link on the Reno PD’s website to submit tips anonymously, or send an email to rpdcoldcases@reno.gov.
