Our card this week is Alfonso McCoy Jr. & Debra Gomez, The Queen of Clubs from Arizona.It seems like more than just a coincidence that this couple is on that particular face of cards, because by all accounts, Debbie was Alfonso’s queen.

He was Debbie’s protector. But in the darkness of winter more than twenty years ago… not even he could save them.If you know anything about the murders of Alfonso McCoy Junior and Debra “Debbie” Gomez in February 2001 in Phoenix, Arizona, you can anonymously contact Silent Witness at 480-948-6377 or toll-free at 1-800-343-TIPS.

Now, nearly another 12 years have passed, and investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to Niki and who left her by that lake. Investigators are still looking to talk to anyone who knew Niki Bakoles or Joel Chaudoin in the greater Salt Lake City area in early 2000.
