MURDERED: Teresa Flores & Martha Mezo
In 1980, the tiny town of San Miguel, California, was shaken when two kindergarten girls vanished in broad daylight from a main street. Despite a long list of local child predators and bizarre clues, the trail went cold in a matter of years. But now, nearly 5 decades later, the very detective who solved the Kristin Smart case has come out of retirement to take another look, and he’s closer than ever before to a solve.
- Terry’s family is currently trying to raise $10,000 for a billboard on Highway 101 and $25,000 to create a reward for information. If you’d like to help her out with that we’ve included the link here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-mezo-flores-murder-case
