Remembering Leon
In this emotional episode, Arlene shares memories of Leon as we near the anniversary of his murder.
On May 10th, 1996 at midnight, someone kidnapped Leon Laurales from his workplace, Kroger's grocery. Fifteen minutes later, they shot him outside of town, leaving behind Leon's burning Thunderbird, and a wake of shattered lives and hearts. Leon's box in the basement started our quest for justice for not only Leon, but the 100,000+ cold cases in the US sitting in boxes in basements.
