01:37.792 --> 01:47.424
[SPEAKER_01]: 40 years later, her case would be linked back to a man suspected in multiple disappearances and murders of girls and young women dating back to the 1970s.

02:07.572 --> 02:11.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello, and thank you for joining me as I dive into yet another truly terrifying true crime case.

02:12.062 --> 02:14.468
[SPEAKER_01]: Before we get started, as always, I hope that you're doing well.

02:14.628 --> 02:20.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Hope it's been a wonderful week, and just wanted to say thank you so much for letting me hang out with you while you're doing whatever it is you've got going on today.

02:21.363 --> 02:23.067
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're driving into work or...

02:23.047 --> 02:27.901
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, working out whatever it is, thank you so much for hanging out with me and letting me be a part of that.

02:28.483 --> 02:33.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Super excited to get into this week's case and wrap up the month of the missing.

02:33.918 --> 02:38.271
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, and I'll talk about this a little bit more as we get into the case.

02:38.251 --> 02:48.220
[SPEAKER_01]: I am extremely surprised that I've never heard about the case that we're going to be covering this week and again, I think that I'll become a little evident as we go through as to why.

02:48.260 --> 02:48.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel that way.

02:48.981 --> 02:57.929
[SPEAKER_01]: This feels like it should be a much bigger case than it is both in the area that it took place and also on a national level.

02:58.109 --> 03:08.258
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm very excited to jump into it to break everything down and then to hear what the listeners and the locksmiths have to say about

03:08.238 --> 03:19.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we actually have a lot of listeners in the area where this case took place, so I'll be excited to see if anybody has any input on it or, you know, anything they want to add as far as their thought.

03:19.622 --> 03:27.900
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, again, hope you're doing well and with that being said, let's wrap up the month of the missing and jump into this week's case.

03:27.880 --> 03:32.529
[SPEAKER_01]: This week, we are actually headed to the area where I grew up, Plymouth Canton, Michigan.

03:33.311 --> 03:44.252
[SPEAKER_01]: On June 8, 1981, 15-year-old Kim Laro was visiting a friend who was working at a Baskin Robbins near the corner of Ann Arbor Road in Sheldon in Plymouth.

03:44.232 --> 03:50.943
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, before moving to Tennessee, as many of you know, I actually lived in the Plymouth Canton area, the majority of my life.

03:51.685 --> 04:01.281
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, when I met my wife, I was living in an apartment at the same intersection, and I actually lived there for several years, not far from this basking robins.

04:01.721 --> 04:05.147
[SPEAKER_01]: And I had never heard of this story before beginning my research on it.

04:05.448 --> 04:08.012
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was very interested in diving into this case.

04:08.279 --> 04:11.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, like most teenagers, Kim was a bit rebellious.

04:12.184 --> 04:15.969
[SPEAKER_01]: She stood five foot, five inches tall with blonde hair and blueish green eyes.

04:16.510 --> 04:18.132
[SPEAKER_01]: She was spunky, but loved a laugh.

04:18.853 --> 04:25.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Kim experimented with pot as many kids do, especially in that time, and if she needed to get somewhere, she would usually hitchhike.

04:26.403 --> 04:32.211
[SPEAKER_01]: A practice not uncommon in the late 70s and early 80s, but she wasn't a wild child.

04:32.191 --> 04:41.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Kim had been living with her father and Dundee, but in 1981, she moved to Canton to stay with her mother Lucy, who worked at a local Ford plant at the time.

04:42.122 --> 04:50.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, from what I've found in the research of this case, it seems that Kim and her mother's relationship could be complicated at best.

04:50.632 --> 05:01.725
[SPEAKER_01]: With Kim's half-brother Brandon stating in an interview that their mother didn't really care about her children, saying that if his sister ever acted out, it was simply for the

05:02.819 --> 05:09.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Kim had lived with her mother previously, but had run away twice before, hitchhiking to Florida in one instance.

05:09.887 --> 05:13.892
[SPEAKER_01]: She'd be sent to live with her father before eventually moving back in with Lucy.

05:15.274 --> 05:19.699
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, on June 8th, the teenager was visiting her friend Brenda at the ice cream parlor.

05:20.520 --> 05:29.130
[SPEAKER_01]: The pair had met Mill school and bonded quickly over their rocky family lives, saying in contact through phone calls while Kim was away living with her dad.

05:29.262 --> 05:34.530
[SPEAKER_01]: While visiting Brenda at work, Kim brought her friend to sweater, as the ice cream shop would tend to stay cold.

05:35.511 --> 05:41.000
[SPEAKER_01]: The girl spent time chatting as Brenda worked, and they had planned to meet up later in the day at Heinz Park.

05:41.941 --> 05:48.030
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, again, growing up in that area, I think for this story, it's important to know a little bit more about this particular part.

05:48.591 --> 05:58.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Heinz Park is a 17-mile stretch of several park areas running along Edward Heinz Drive,

05:58.186 --> 06:05.378
[SPEAKER_01]: It's filled with walking trails, playgrounds, and pavilions, and on any given summer day you could find families and groups of friends.

06:06.059 --> 06:09.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Rilling, listening to music, or playing Frisbee.

06:09.084 --> 06:14.473
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was also a popular place for teenagers to go to maybe drink a beer or smoke a joint.

06:14.960 --> 06:21.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, as Kim was leaving, she told Brenda that her mother was picking her up, and that she would meet her at the park later that evening.

06:22.214 --> 06:26.441
[SPEAKER_01]: But Kim Laro never arrived, and Brenda immediately grew concerned.

06:27.223 --> 06:30.850
[SPEAKER_01]: But when Lucy Laro learned of her daughter's disappearance, she was not.

06:31.531 --> 06:34.136
[SPEAKER_01]: This wasn't unusual as Kim had run away before.

06:34.156 --> 06:37.963
[SPEAKER_01]: However, she still went to the police the following morning.

06:38.298 --> 06:46.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, like other cases that we've done, she was told to return after the teenager had missing for more than 24 hours, which Lucy did.

06:47.413 --> 06:57.690
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, most likely because of her past behavior, investigators didn't seem to act with any sense of real urgency, probably assuming that the teenager, again, just simply ran away.

06:57.750 --> 07:02.938
[SPEAKER_01]: And with no leads or signs of foul play, the case just seemed to stall.

07:03.492 --> 07:05.857
[SPEAKER_01]: Over the years, there was no real movement.

07:06.659 --> 07:09.827
[SPEAKER_01]: And Lucy Lero seemed to simply not want to work with police.

07:10.548 --> 07:15.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Failing to respond to phone calls about her daughter's case and refusing to provide a DNA sample.

07:16.442 --> 07:19.789
[SPEAKER_01]: At one point, the FBI actually attempted to get involved.

07:20.250 --> 07:22.716
[SPEAKER_01]: But Lucy wouldn't answer the door for agents.

07:23.084 --> 07:32.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, there was never any evidence to link Lucy to Kim's disappearance, but authorities were never able to entirely rule her out as she remained uncooperative for so many years.

07:33.515 --> 07:36.898
[SPEAKER_01]: But Kim's brother, Brandon, believed his mother simply didn't care.

07:36.918 --> 07:44.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she worked for Ford, she made good money, and she could hire a private investigator if she wanted to, she just never did.

07:44.366 --> 07:48.130
[SPEAKER_01]: To Brandon, Kim just didn't matter to his mother.

07:49.038 --> 08:07.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Now decades would pass with no sign of Kim Laro and no leads in her case, but that would change in 2017 when a fellow detective contacted the Kent Police, working in the nearby city of Warren, believing they knew who may be responsible for Kim's disappearance.

08:07.864 --> 08:10.287
[SPEAKER_01]: A man named Arthur Nelson-Rene.

08:11.633 --> 08:16.959
[SPEAKER_01]: In 2008, Remed had been found guilty of the abduction, rape, and murder of another missing girl.

08:17.900 --> 08:20.082
[SPEAKER_01]: A 13-year-old named Cindy Zarishki.

08:21.003 --> 08:39.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, on a Sunday morning in 1986, Cindy left home, telling her parents that she was meeting her friends at a local dairy queen in East Point, Michigan, a city only 43 miles away from where Kim Laro vanished five years prior.

08:39.376 --> 08:48.469
[SPEAKER_01]: At the time, the girl was dating Rhine's son and he had lured Cindy to the dairy queen telling her that there was a surprise party for her then boyfriend.

08:49.430 --> 08:53.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And one Cindy was inside his car, a monster was unleashed.

08:53.797 --> 08:59.705
[SPEAKER_01]: Rhine raped and murdered the 13 year old before disposing of her body, where it would stay for years.

09:00.867 --> 09:07.476
[SPEAKER_01]: But eventually Cindy's case would be revisited, and investigators actually took a closer

09:07.895 --> 09:12.657
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, at the time of the girl's disappearance, he was a suspect for a minute.

09:12.772 --> 09:21.606
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a prior conviction for sexually assaulting a hitchhiker in 1974, and because of her relationship with his son, Riem was friendly with Cindy.

09:22.227 --> 09:25.432
[SPEAKER_01]: But for some reason, charges were never filed at the time.

09:26.133 --> 09:29.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Years would go by and Riem would continue his heinous crimes.

09:30.100 --> 09:39.775
[SPEAKER_01]: In 1998, he would plead guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Northern Michigan's Gladwin County, for which he was sentenced to 15 years.

09:39.755 --> 09:49.197
[SPEAKER_01]: and while being behind bars, Riem liked to brag, telling a cellmate that he had a quote thing for young girls, and that he had killed four to six people.

09:50.139 --> 09:55.131
[SPEAKER_01]: In 2008, he would be officially charged for the murder of Cindy Zerisky.

09:55.465 --> 09:58.368
[SPEAKER_01]: Reem would be found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

09:59.049 --> 10:10.662
[SPEAKER_01]: And shortly after, he would lead investigators to a wooded area in Michigan's McCone County, where detectives would finally recover Cindy's remains, giving at least one family some type of closure.

10:11.664 --> 10:18.992
[SPEAKER_01]: But investigators kept digging, believing that Reem may have been responsible for the disappearance of several other girls in the area.

10:19.732 --> 10:27.227
[SPEAKER_01]: On April 2, 1970, 13-year-old Cynthia Cune vanished while walking to school in Ann Arbor.

10:27.477 --> 10:34.304
[SPEAKER_01]: In August of that same year, 16-year-old Nadino Dell disappeared while walking to a babysitting job in the Insta.

10:34.324 --> 10:42.673
[SPEAKER_01]: 12-year-old Kimberly King vanished after sneaking out of a sleepover in Warren, Michigan, on September 15, 1979.

10:43.975 --> 10:51.763
[SPEAKER_01]: And on May 20, 1982, 17-year-old Kelly Brownlee disappeared after leaving her home for the Mall.

10:51.845 --> 10:58.078
[SPEAKER_01]: And in 2017, investigators were ready to add another name to the list of suspected victims.

10:58.880 --> 11:05.374
[SPEAKER_01]: 15-year-old Kim Laro Kim was linked to Riem in the same way as the other suspected victims.

11:05.895 --> 11:07.238
[SPEAKER_01]: His work records.

11:07.707 --> 11:11.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Over the years, Reemcat detailed logs about his daily work.

11:11.993 --> 11:28.875
[SPEAKER_01]: And on the day that Kim disappeared, Reem was driving from his carpet business and Detroit to a job at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, with investigators believing that Reem picked up Kim Lero as she was hitchhiking near Hines Park before sexually assaulting and killing a girl.

11:30.097 --> 11:36.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Reem would be given a polygraph test during which she was asked about the missing girls

11:37.542 --> 11:42.629
[SPEAKER_01]: And in 2018, he was officially named a suspect in all of the missing girl's cases.

11:43.531 --> 11:47.336
[SPEAKER_01]: But sadly, these families never got the answers that they deserved.

11:48.157 --> 11:58.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Lucy Lero, Kim's mother, would pass away in June of 2024, with some believing that she never assisted the police because she was angry about how her daughter's case was handled.

11:58.754 --> 12:09.287
[SPEAKER_01]: Arthur Nelson-Riem would follow just months later in September, dying of cancer at the age of 75, inside the walls of a prison hospital in Jackson, Michigan.

12:10.428 --> 12:23.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Riem was a cold and calculated narcissist, who received pleasure by being in control of others, and with his death, the hope for answer seemed to disappear, much like the Missing Girls and Michigan.

12:23.645 --> 12:29.541
[SPEAKER_01]: To this day, investigators continue to work on Kim's case, as well as the cases of the other missing teens.

12:30.363 --> 12:34.735
[SPEAKER_01]: Hoping that one day, they can provide those answers to the people who love them.

12:35.643 --> 12:46.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, if you were listening to this and you have any information on the disappearance of Kim Laro or any of the other missing girls, please contact the Canton Township Police at 734-394-540.

12:50.666 --> 12:56.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, that is 734-394-540-040.

13:11.266 --> 13:15.690
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's this week's case and as always, I just wanted to share some final thoughts to close everything out.

13:16.270 --> 13:19.974
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I found this case, I was genuinely shocked.

13:20.014 --> 13:40.412
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that I had mentioned it in the beginning and kind of as we went through the case, but especially with it being the month of the missing, I was going through and really just looking at any case that I thought deserved attention or maybe people need us to know more about and knowing that this terrible thing happened

13:40.730 --> 13:46.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, an area that has spent the majority of my life, it just blew my mind that it wasn't more commonly talked about.

13:48.121 --> 13:58.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, when I first met my wife, she was living in Tennessee and she would come visit me and I was living in an apartment in the exact location of that Basque and Robbins.

13:58.977 --> 14:00.419
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna get through a tennis ball and hit it.

14:00.479 --> 14:03.143
[SPEAKER_01]: We would walk down the street and pass it and

14:03.528 --> 14:10.018
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, it was just the basking robins that was always there, not, you know, the basking robins were Kim Laro was last seen.

14:10.539 --> 14:12.121
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was very surprising to me.

14:12.622 --> 14:21.216
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, to go hand in hand with that is the fact I'm just so surprised that this case did not make more news nationally.

14:21.756 --> 14:27.966
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're talking about six girls disappearing all in the same metro Detroit area.

14:28.672 --> 14:41.274
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and again, I know back then police work was a lot different, these departments than talk to each other and things of that nature, but, you know, just seems like it would have made way more of an impact.

14:41.715 --> 14:46.202
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the kind of story that would be talked about, you know, years into the future.

14:46.843 --> 14:54.156
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Michigan has some cases like the Oakland County child killer, you know, these cases that have lasted a lot of people know are are

14:55.182 --> 15:01.863
[SPEAKER_01]: in the cultural zeitgeist, especially around true crime, so it was just really surprising to me that these cases aren't.

15:03.287 --> 15:06.357
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the other thing that really kind of blew my mind as well is that

15:06.708 --> 15:13.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Reem was such a sadistic person, but I could barely find anything about him in the research.

15:13.457 --> 15:32.142
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't find anything about his background, you know, I just, there was nothing specific about him like how he grew up or, you know, even when I talked about he was traveling for work, the only thing that I could find is that it appeared that he had owned a like carpet business

15:32.122 --> 15:40.011
[SPEAKER_01]: especially in Kim's case he was traveling from a warehouse and Detroit, and then going to the University of Michigan.

15:40.231 --> 15:46.377
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, you know, where that area in Plymouth is is right in that route.

15:46.578 --> 15:48.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you would drive right past that spot.

15:48.300 --> 15:49.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd made that drive several times.

15:50.302 --> 15:55.227
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know,

15:55.207 --> 16:07.898
[SPEAKER_01]: just so terrible and all of these girls to go missing in it should be determined that it was by this one person years on the road, you would just think there would be more information about him, but I just could not find it.

16:08.179 --> 16:08.760
[SPEAKER_01]: So

16:09.618 --> 16:25.872
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, this one, again, being a father and thinking about having a wife and a daughter of my own, you know, it really does put into perspective just how different things are now.

16:25.852 --> 16:40.013
[SPEAKER_01]: as compared to, I mean, even when I was a kid, when I was a kid and I was 15, we would ride our bikes across, you know, across town and, you know, ride four or five miles to my girlfriend at my high school girlfriend at the time's house, things like that.

16:40.113 --> 16:47.083
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, in the world that we live in now, I just, especially, you know, living so close to Nashville and things like that, it's like,

16:47.063 --> 17:06.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I just could not imagine letting my child do that, and so I just think that it just speaks to such a different time and history where we just felt safer and maybe it shouldn't, you know, kids hitchhiking and, you know, just kind of going off on their own and things of that nature.

17:07.142 --> 17:15.450
[SPEAKER_01]: So there was a lot about this case that really hit me and I do hope that, you know,

17:16.358 --> 17:22.723
[SPEAKER_01]: the detectives were working this case is, you know, they've been handed off to different detectives and things like that, but they've never stopped.

17:23.058 --> 17:38.855
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Kim went missing in 1981 and was tied to Reims in 2017, you know, that someone has continued to work these cases and they periodically pop up in the newspaper and things of that nature.

17:38.895 --> 17:47.985
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, it is good to know that after all these years, they're continuing to work into my hope is that these families will finally get the answers that they deserve.

17:47.965 --> 17:58.762
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if we're talking debble tests for me, this is going to be a 10 across the board, you know, just thinking about your kid going to meet some friends and then never coming home is absolutely terrifying.

17:59.223 --> 18:07.075
[SPEAKER_01]: But as always, I want to hear from you, the listeners, the locksmiths, where does Kim Lara and Michigan's missing girls fall on your debble test?

18:07.155 --> 18:15.188
[SPEAKER_01]: Please, you can let us know, reach out to us on Instagram, check the locks pod, you can find the show on Twitter

18:15.168 --> 18:16.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Come hang out with us.

18:16.150 --> 18:19.015
[SPEAKER_01]: We would absolutely love the opportunity to get some time to spend with you.

18:19.356 --> 18:23.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Get to know you a little bit better and just have you be part of the best community on the internet.

18:23.183 --> 18:29.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I say it all the time, but it is just a wonderful group of people who are always lifting each other up and being kind to each other.

18:29.976 --> 18:34.665
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think especially in the world that we live in right now, we could use as much of that as possible.

18:34.785 --> 18:35.286
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

18:35.266 --> 18:41.052
[SPEAKER_01]: If you are interested in joining the Facebook group, there is a link in the description of this episode.

18:41.092 --> 18:42.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Click that link and answer a few questions.

18:43.094 --> 18:45.496
[SPEAKER_01]: We would absolutely love to have you as part of that community.

18:45.877 --> 18:56.267
[SPEAKER_01]: And finally, to wrap everything up, I wanted to take a moment to read a Spotify comment that I received on last week's case where we covered the disappearance of Tabitha tutors here in Nashville.

18:56.967 --> 19:00.531
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reason I wanted to read this, I think it was so

19:00.781 --> 19:13.358
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of pertinent to what I was talking about as far as the difference in time, so this is from Laura and she said, my kids are grown and I didn't worry about anything like this then because they were picked up by a bus at the end of our driveway.

19:13.919 --> 19:23.712
[SPEAKER_01]: But now I have an almost three-year-old granddaughter and if anything ever happened to her, I can't even let my thoughts go there, but I do talk to my daughter about how careful she needs to be.

19:23.732 --> 19:28.999
[SPEAKER_01]: 20 years ago this

19:29.182 --> 19:36.254
[SPEAKER_01]: That little girl has a special place in my heart that I did not know existed until the first time I got to hold her talking about her granddaughter.

19:36.875 --> 19:40.762
[SPEAKER_01]: So Laura, thank you for taking time to leave that spot if I comment.

19:40.802 --> 19:44.929
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, I think that perfectly encapsulates what I was saying where

19:44.909 --> 19:47.413
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, it just was a different time back then.

19:47.794 --> 20:05.502
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I think kids had a lot more freedom and were able to to kind of row my no I was I was one of those get home before the street lights come on, but there wasn't Apple tags and you know, find my iPhone and, and, you know, life 360 and things of that nature, right?

20:06.083 --> 20:06.664
[SPEAKER_01]: So,

20:08.095 --> 20:19.411
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, sometimes I think maybe, you know, in the generation that we're in now, maybe we go a little too heavy on that side, you know, I do think as a society, we've woken up and said, like, hey, there is like dangerous things out there.

20:19.511 --> 20:24.719
[SPEAKER_01]: And we do need to have a good balance of like making sure we know where our kids are.

20:24.759 --> 20:25.480
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

20:25.460 --> 20:26.783
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for leaving that comment.

20:27.063 --> 20:28.005
